This is a lemon cake with a slight lemon-flavored, buttercream icing made for a bake sale at our church.
This was my final cake for the Wilton 2 class. This was a cake of firsts:
first rope border....
first basket weave....
and first multi-colored batter.
I attempted to make a castle cake for my youngest daughter's 5th birthday. It was a huge undertaking for one night, especially considering I had worked all day at the shipyard. At this point, I was midway through the Wilton 2 class.
Here is a close-up of some of the border-work.
This is the front view. I had intended to do more detail work to cover the plastic turrets...it just didn't happen before the sun came up. She loved the cake anyway :)
