This day marks exactly 1 year since i started taking up cake decorating. It was a year ago have i only found out that i can make nice, decent looking cakes. So happy! :D

I have now become a home baker/cake decorator ever since. On a small scale, but still. Here's the one cake  i made for my husband's birthday last year, before taking any lessons. Just see for your self. You might even think it was done by someone in the third grade or something! Hihihi.

(pictures are intentionally uploaded in smaller size. Heheh.)

It sorely lacks imagination, i know. It would have been nicer with plain colourful candles i would imagine, but since those were unavailable, i just used the colourful Happy Birthday candles instead. (My god, i actually cringed when i look back at these photos. Haha).

But u know, (ok here comes the defensive part) i didn't have any tools at hand except the spatula. Just a straight one at that too... Ok, fine. The truth is, i had no idea there were so many tools in the market that could aid plain looking cakes like this one. (But not that i know how to work them at that time anyways). Thanks to mum who helped me achieve that natural look on the buttercream. So you see, it could have been worse! (Those who laughed at the cake earlier should now feel bad because it was HER that made it look that way. Haha kidding. It was all ME. Mum had helped to make it less critical. Hehehe).

Have a good weekend now, folks! And if you do have the time, do learn new skills. Who knows, you might just unleash the Martha Stewart in you! ;)
