To pay for my first year of college, I worked at a bakery icing and decorating cakes. For a number of years, I had the opportunity to bake good for departmental parties and social events. My grown children still take about some of their birthday cakes. If you'd like tomorrow I can post a photo of Minion cupcakes. Our granddaughter will be coming for dinner to help celebrate my birthday early (thank you for the card)and she requested Minion cupcakes!servedogmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051891451657688679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-56693096156873321512017-04-06T16:19:16.126-04:002017-04-06T16:19:16.126-04:00Let me try again I hit something and disappeared, ...Let me try again I hit something and disappeared, LOL. All I can say about me is that I look like a snowman when I bake, no matter how neat I try to be. I will tattle on my sister, the first time she ever baked, she used a boxed cake mix. She was upset that it wasn't baking right, we finally figured out that instead of using 1 1/3 cups water she used 3 1/3, I found it funny, she was not amused. Trial and error, she's a wonderful baker now.

His momma wasn't working at the time and the decorated cakes where expensive. I told my friend go buy a Dora cake pan and supplies at Michael's and make it yourself. She is like you and doesn't know a thing about decorating a cake. She bought all the supplies came to my house and dumped them on the table. She told me you are crafty make us a Dora cake. I spent hours messing around with the cake and after watching endless videos I finally finished it! She was a little lopsided but he loved the cake! Once I got the hang of it I made every kid including my own personal cakes for their birthday's! I have an extensive collection of shaped pans and spent years decorating cakes and cupcakes into crazy shapes and character's! My kids are all grown now but now I have a granddaughter who I can't wait to start making cakes for! I would definitely put your experiences bad and good into your new series I have some funny experiences trying to make these cakes and we have had some good laughs over my really bad mistakes! I am excited to read this new series! Good luck with it I am sure it will be a hit!

I use to decorate cakes for the grandkids my most accomplished was a cake that was like a gown with a Barbie in the middle so the cake looked like her dress and a Darth Vader.they weren't perfect but made with a lot of frustration and a whole bunch of loveDeb Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477284753513431280noreply@blogger.com
