Cake

Last week we threw a baby shower for one of my co-workers. It was a Baby Winnie-the-Pooh theme, so I decided to be ambitious and make the cake and cupcakes for the shower (along with doing the decorations, ordering the food, etc.) I am a fan of Ace of Cakes on the food network and have actually been contemplating going to culinary school for baking/pastry. I've enjoyed baking all my life, but this was my first foray into making such a cake. The cupcakes were a little stressful (new recipe), but the cake was a lot of fun. It was raspberry filled and had a basic buttercream frosting. I made it to look like a pot of honey (or as Pooh spells it, Hunny) and the cupcakes all had little bees on them. I think it turned out quite nicely. It looked cute and tasted great. It was just satisfying to have a vision in my head of what I wanted the cake and cupcakes to be and then to actually have it turn out as I had envisioned. I am now an Ace of Cake.
