Cake decorating, cupcakes, cake pops etc *Share tips, tricks and pics*

It would be nice if fellow guppans/guppies could join in and share tips and tricks and recipes on cakes and cupcakes. As well as other sweets.
I know we all need some sweetness in life. So let’s do it :slight_smile:

I make cakes as a hobby for family and friends and anyone else who wants a custom cake for their function.
It all started with my daughters first birthday when I decided to make her birthday cake myself. I thought I was setting myself up for failure but it turned out to be a big hit! And the next thing I knew I got orders from so many people!

Cake decorating is not hard, so don’t be scared away by it :slight_smile: If you have questions just ask away. :slight_smile:

I took the Wilton cake decorating courses at my local Michael's store. I don't do the fancy fondant creations, but I really like decorating cupcakes!

This is a French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling and strawberry’s that I made for my husband last year on his birthday.
As you can see he’s a BIG fan of angry birds LOL :blush: It was supposed to look like a tree trunk, hence the non smooth sides

poof

Sounds cool! How were the classes? I was going to. But the cakes I make are loved by everyone so never bothered. Lol
sorry for typo(if any) guys I'm using Gupshup from my phone

I really wanted to take the wilton classes but Im a SAHM and they didn't offer evening classes :( I know a lot of people who went and found them very helpful, esp since they teach you piping techniques.
