Ok, so all through my childhood, I was told that I would never take "a cake class" - meaning, an easy class. Well, I am! Just for fun! So, because I'm my mother's daughter, I had to get the organized carrying case for all my stuff, because that's just how I am. My assignment for the next class is to make a whole bunch of frostings and in different colors, then to make a cake, and frost it in light blue frosting. I decided to do a "trial run" first - so I bought new pans (the 8" rounds are really nice, much better than the 9, I think). Then I made a yellow cake, and they stuck like hell to the pans, so I could hardly get them out, and when I did, they were all torn up - I had to essentially piece it back together. Then I made the buttercream icing, but it was way too thick, no matter how much water I added - and of course, my first cake had to be pink, so I colored it. All in all, it was ok. I'm glad I did a trial run first. There are crumbs all over the frosting, but I'm just going to blame that on the cake - not my fault. :)
I also asked my husband what he thought, and he said it looks great! Now, I know that he's lying to me in other areas because obviously, this cake does not look great. So he revised that thought, and said it looks like it tastes great, which I can handle. Now what to do with the rest of the cake...
I have always wanted to smush cake in someone else's face before... hmm... :)

Suprise, surprise, it's pink.
Where are you taking the classes at?
Using two layers of frosting will also fix the crumbs. Do a base coat before a thinner top layer :)
Yes, frosting fixes everything, and I do mean everything!!!!! Very pretty!
