Cake Decorating

I have some really talented family members and friends who are really amazing cake decorators.  It has always looked like tons of fun and it has been something I have always wanted to get into.  This past Christmas Sam bought me a bunch of stuff to get started.  Here is the first cake I attempted.  Hopefully I will get tons better.

 

Cake with buttercream frosting

I have finally found a buttercream recipe that I really like.  Not only does it taste really good but it is really easy to work with and make the cake look good.  The recipe can be found here.  She also gives some really good tips on frosting a cake and making it look good.
