Cake Decorating 101




I have always wanted to take a cake decorating class. Several years ago my parents got me the kit I would need to take a class and a gift certificate. I am just now getting around to using it. Here is my first cake. Everyone else made a rainbow cake, but I wanted to do flowers instead.

I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do.
