Steph's Birthday

I made this cake for a coworker..I had played around a little bit with buttercream icing but had never really put any piping details into any of the cakes I've made. This was a layered chocolate cake with buttercream filing and icing. Her favorite colors were purple and green. I used food coloring from the grocery store..I was having a bit of trouble getting the right shade of purple. I didn't want to add a lot of food coloring so I just stopped there. I don't have a good Wilton spatula so I had used a butter knife dipped in warm water to smooth out the buttercream.

Welcome!

Hi everyone,

This is my first blog post on How Sweet It Is! I've been working on this blog for a while, trying to figure out how things work, etc. I'm new to cake-decorating...I love watching cake shows and everything just looks so great and yummy. A few years ago, I started to make cupcakes and muffins and cakes and got an interest for learning new recipes, especially ones pased down from my grandmother. Right now, I'm just sort of experimenting on my own and trying new things. So i'll post some pictures of the things i've created. If you have any tips or ideas, please let me know. Thanks!
