A two-for-one video! First part shows a cake I made for my mom, how I stacked the cake. I was aggravated at how the middle tier turned out, that is not a bulge around the middle of the cake, that's from the first line I piped down, my hand shook and caused the line to not be straight. I thought I could fix it as I went but it never did even out. If this had been for a paying customer I would have gone back and fixed it but I know my mom loves me and doesn't mind :)
Second part was interesting, I had forgotten to double check my order sheet that said 'basket of flowers', I thought it had just said basketweave. So, the day she was coming to pick-up the cake I had to quick take my frosting out of the fridge and re-pipe (fortunately I still had it!!).
Hope you enjoy, for those wondering about the music:
1. Bustin' Surfboards from 'Pulp Fiction'
2. Loss of Me from 'Final Fantasy'
3. Soul Bossa Nova from 'Austin Powers'
4. Benny and Joon from 'Benny and Joon'

    That first cake is a great example of how you can make a very elegant cake but only use two tips. The petal and the leaf tip. Making a gorgeous cake doesn't have to mean it's stressful and complicated.
