Improving

So I just uploaded my cakes and not exactly in the order that i made them, although I should have so that you can see the improvement.  Because there IS an IMPROVEMENT.  :)
The last cake I made was the repunzel (Tangled) cake, and I can honestly say that I'm getting better at it!  Not only at decorating but also at the flavors and textures of the cakes!

One thing that I haven't mentioned is that I don't work alone...
I have an awesome Family... 2 Sisters and 1 Brother that take turns to help me each time I have to make a cake.  My brother Julio is good at making characters and figures.  My sister Karla is very creative and is full of ideas and my sister Connie is very patient and detailed.  So honestly depending on the theme of the cake I will ask one of them for help :)

The Tangled cake I did with my Brother Julio! 

I think my next cake is going to be Angry Birds and I might need all 3 of them ;)

My First Fondant Cake

I've always liked cooking, but I LOVE Baking!  Sad to say I never went to school for it but that didn't stop me from making the cakes that I want!  With each cake I learn Something new.  My first FONDANT cake was about a year ago!  My Boss turned "40" and even though that shouldn't be considered over the hill, I thought it would be Funny to make him an over the hill cake and decorate his entire office!  When I say decorate, I mean decorate :)  we did everything over the hill from a blow up Toilet instead of his Executive desk chair, to a basket full of Depends, Geritol, Soft Foods, Laxatives... etc.  It was really funny!  I need to find some pictures so that I can post! 

I enjoyed making his cake so much that, I continued to make them and the more I made the better I got!  So I guess my point is that if you can't go to a culinary school to learn how to make cakes!  That's fine because you can still make great cakes!  That's if you love baking of course.
