"Becky's Bakery, Ltd."

So remember when I planted a garden....it was on my life's to do list. Well, so is cake baking...not just baking, but decorating. I've always been inspired...and since Jack is turning one I knew I would be looking for a great cake for him. So I started seeing what shops would make my cake and then Brad said... "girl, you need to bake yo' own cake, you know you've always wanted to". I thought about it...and figured I'd give it a try. At first I was a little worried...a little nervous I'd be getting myself in over my head, but then I decided if not now then when? So I went to the store and bought all the tools...I've been obsessed with researching how to decorate a cake the past few days..and so on. I decided to do a Father's Day/trial cake this weekend. I definitely learned a lot along the way, and this cake needs much improvement, but I'm proud of what I accomplished. It was really fun, and I can't wait to get better. I think I can handle Jacks birthday cake...which I'm planning to do a two layer 10 in with a two layer 6 in on top for him to enjoy. The cake I did this weekend was a two layer 6 in. with a buttercream icing and fondant decorations.

Oh, so good!! I'll get around to posting my "trial run" (I had the same idea) one of these days. Suffice it to say, I decided to purchase Kaia's real birthday cake... lol.
