One of the first cakes I ever decorated was back in 2014 at a cake decorating competition among students at SDSU. Every once in a while I see the picture of that cake pop up. I have wanted to recreate it for a while and I finally got around to it this week!
During the competition, we were provided with the cake and frosting. We were allowed to bring additional decoration pieces, food coloring, and tools. The frosting was rather warm and we didn't have access to a fridge which meant I had major issues with it holding its shape as I piped it. The overall design came out pretty good, but I was disappointed with the frosting situation.
This time around, I was able to use the frosting I like working with, had access to all of my tools, and of course did not have the temperature issue. In my opinion, it turned out so cute!
Pics of both cakes are attached!
