Happy Easter!

Happy Good Friday to you!

(This post is for you, Mom xoxo)

I just finished my last cake decorating class on Tuesday. I wish I had taken time to learn how to actually bake a cake and ice it from my Mom, who always made the most amazing cakes when we were growing up. Should have taken advantage of that.

I was stressin big time the day before the class because the oval cakes I made to stack together were completely falling apart. Even touching the cake with my finger would break off little chunks. Cake in your icing is not cute. I was so disappointed because I didn't have time to make another cake. I just had to accept that fact that I wasn't going to make my last class (the finale: using the flowers I'd made all month to put the cake together). Anyway, bless my husband's heart, he helped me salvage one of the cakes, so I did end up going.. and made the second cake that I posted here. When I got home that night, I had icing left over, so I decided to try to make a little egg out of my the left over cake that was in worse shape than the first. Enough icing covered up the gaping holes :) Since I didn't decorate my house for Easter AT ALL, nor did we paint Easter eggs, at least we can feel a little festive looking at this:

By the way, I highly recommend learing how to cake decorate from your Mom before you move 12 hours away. If you made my mistake, I recommend taking a Wilton Cake decorating class. I think they offer them at most Michaels'.
