I'm taking a cake decorating class with my daughter-in-law. Aside from having 10 pounds of buttercream frosting in my refrigerator, it's a BLAST! The first cake we made was a baby carriage, and I forgot (DARN!) to take a picture of it.

The second cake was a doll.  Since it was Valentine's week, I made it in red, pink and white.  Since my DH and I are empty nesters and our "kids" are grown men, I was at a bit of a loss to know what to do with a doll cake... until I learned that my friend was hosting a tea party on Valentine's Day with her 9-year-old daughter for her girl scout troop.  Yippie!  A good home for my doll cake!

I attempted a bustle in the back, which turned out more like a lump of frosting, but that was ok.  The roses got better as I went.  Some don't look much like roses.  I now have a healthy respect for people who can whip out butter cream roses!
Next week, we're making frosting clowns.  If they look anything like clowns, I'll show them to you. :-)
