Tester cake

Deep inside of me there is a desire to make and decorate cakes for a living (which is why Ace of Cakes of one of my favorite shows to watch). So yesterday i decided to make some fondant and do a little tester cake. I tried to make a pumpkin orange fondant, but got sick of constantly mixing the food coloring in with the tough fondant. so i stopped at peach. but it was fun to make fondant-messy, but fun. And after making the piping chocolate to what i thought was a good consistency, i found to to be too runny. i guess thats the point of a tester cake. Now...what to do with it (i purposefully made the cake in flavors in dont care for so i wouldnt eat it!) I definately need oodles of practice..... that's the fun part!

What a great cake! Yours beats my first - hands down! Looks like we are going to have to open our own bakery in San Fran...what do you think?

Totally! As i was making this cake i was silently planning ideas for our bakery..... i'm convinced that if neither of us had time consuming children, we would live our bakery dreams.....

I'd totally go to yours and Tristan's bakery! That looks awesome! But why San Fran? The ME needs bakers like you!
