Last year, for my birthday, Nathan gave me a cake decorating book. I hadn't tried any of them until recently, but having two decorating classes under my belt I decided to try some cakes out. Here are the results:
Cake Number 1:
Cake: Devil's Food
Top: White, Milk, and Dark Chocolate
Icing (between layers): White Chocolate Buttercream (not my fav....)
Outside: Toasted Almonds
Cake Number 2:
Cake: Homemade Chocolate
Top: Dark Chocolate w/ White Chocolate Piping
Cake: Homemade Chocolate
Top: Dark Chocolate w/ White Chocolate Piping
Icing (between layers): Cream, Whipped
Hooray!!!!
