Cake # 2

So we had a pretty mellow weekend. Saturday we made our regular trips to Costco and Target. Then we came home and I went to work on my second cake. Mark had a going away picnic for some people he works with and asked me if I wanted to make a cake. So of course I picked the hardest cake I could attempt. I was able to make all of the decorations ahead of time and they only took me a couple of hours. Then I went to work on the actual cake on Saturday and it took me about 4-5 hours. I was exhausted. All in all I think it came out pretty good. It was hard when I was up close doing all the detail work, all I could see were the mistakes I made. But when I finally finished and stood back to look at it, I thought it came out pretty good. My next cake is for our friend Shara's sisters birthday. I'm going to try a zebra print. Wish me luck.
