I'm new to chickens, but I've been decorating cakes for a while now. I sometimes bake and decorate cakes for friends and family and friends of friends/family. Here's a few of my cakes:
I love doing it. It's definitely a creative outlet for me!
I would love to take a cake decorating contest. I've only learned from my mom who took a class years ago before I was even born. It is a lot of fun though! She made most of my cakes for birthdays when I was younger.
I did a contest here at school called Cupcake Wars. I wish I could find the pictures that were taken that day (I couldn't take any because I was busy making them!). I made a tomato and an osprey cupcake that were awesome! The osprey is our school mascot. I ended up winning third place which was surprising because the other people were professional cupcake decorators!
Those are great! I took cake decorating classes a while back and am generally the designated cake maker for any/all holidays/birthdays. it is a lot of fun. Time consuming but fun!
