Wanna Green Bean: I made a cake

I made a cake

I work for a small non-profit and a local design company does all of the design work for all of our printed material for free. Since they do all of that for us for free, I thought I’d bake them a cake.

This was the first time I used my decorating tips and semi-professional techniques. I think it turned out pretty well. The cake is lemon with lemon curd filling (really tasty). Then covered with insanely sweet buttercream. I actually haven’t tasted the cake itself, I made it for someone else so it is currently sitting in a cake box on the counter. I have tasted all the leftover crumbs and trimmings though!

I know, its insane! The brightness, the colors, the craziness!!!

But I kind of like it even though its crazy. I’d have to say its pretty good considering it is the first time I have ever decorated a cake with decorating tips. Up to this point all I had done was slap some frosting on stuff and spike it with a knife or trace designs into it with a spoon or something.

Woot! Maybe I’ll should try something simpler next time.
