My Birthday Cake

So it took me quite some time to decide how I wanted to do MY birthday cake! And even as I was decorating it I still made some changes to my original thoughts! I knew I was only going to eat one piece so I wanted it to be a good one!

I made it three layers, two chocolate one vanilla and I put a caramel buttercream filling inbetween each layer with halloween sprinkles :)

And of course I had to incorporate my much coveted little silver balls! So they became the bats eyes! I had a ton of fun making the cake, it tasted yummy too but it was mostly just fun to make!

It's Fair Time

Our county fair allows residents to enter items to be judged either on taste or decoration for cakes and cookies and other edibles. I've wanted to do it the last couple of years but finally got around to doing it this year. I made three different flavors of cupcakes to be judged on taste and I decorated a Halloween cake to be judged on decorations. I'm not thrilled with the Halloween cake simply because I had such grander plans. But, life is what it is and so I did what I could with the time that I had. The base of the cake can be false but every decoration has to be edible. I had fun using lots of different mediums that I don't use very often. We'll see how I do :)
