Cake!

I tried something new with Dylan’s Cake this year, so I thought I would show off the new skillz.
Dylan wanted a camo cake again this year, but this time he wanted it rectangle and he wanted a tank.
This is the one I made for his actual birthday.

The tank is a Frozen buttercream Transfer. My friend Amber gives great directions HERE
I tried again with his second cake. I did smaller batter blobs for the camo and I was happier with how it turned out, then I also did the writing in the FBCT because my six looked a little “special” in the first one.

I didnt wait long for the frosting to freeze so the N on Dylan got a little flubbed. Note to self next time. “Give yourself more time!”

I definitely need more practice, and I have a LONG way to go until I deem myself "good" but Im having fun learning. I hope to take some classes soon to see what Im doing wrong with the frosting consistency....

Cool! Those cakes are great. I may have to call you later this year about that camo batter one. Jonathan thinks he would like it for his birthday...

I think it looks super fantastic, and i know your kids will remember their cakes and appreciate your effort. I had a fancy raindbow arc freestanding cake when we went to aunt lori's for my like, 6th birthday or something and I have remembered it fondly ever since.
