I still can't believe you ever thought your skills were just the same as any at-home chef. I'm not at all surprised that you're getting all these referrals.

Oh, I want to make cakes like that. Let's see, first I better go to cooking school, baking division, pastry section. Then a few years in art school picking up some skills. Oh, and a source of income to acquire the tools and ingredients. I ought to have my cake in about 7 or 8 years.

Or, buy one from the hottie at the market this weekend.

Hmm, maybe flip a coin.

I am pleased with my progress V. I do see how much more i have to learn though, and it is a considerable lot.

That's true Bruce, but I think I'd still love doing this even if I were a master. Every person you speak to about their cake wants something just a little bit different. Like the tinkerbell cake for example. The picture the lady brought me had pale blue and white icing. All fondant except for the stencil and just a pretty cake, but the girl the cake was for had those dark colours for starters, and she wanted buttercream as the main icing rather than fondant. So the whole process of doing the cake was different. So even when someone says I want that cake, you know it's going to be followed up by a huge 'but'. lol

Here's my first attempt at an ombre ruffle cake. Ombre refers to the colour. Ruffle refers to the ruffles...of course. haha

I am pretty chuffed with the result. I will use softer buttercream next time though. My hands feel like they're going to drop off now. haha

What does "chuff" mean? I think it's pretty.
