This week I had another chance to make the wedding cake that I made for my final practical last quarter. My High Ratio Cake, Diplomat Cream and Italian Buttercream were much improved. My Fondant band was good and the Gum Paste roses were passable. My icing of the cake however, was still terrible. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I really do try my best. My sides aren't even and I can never seem to get it smooth enough. It was made worse when another Culinary student pointed out how bad it was. I know my greatest strength is in breads. I am confident in everything I have learned in school except decorating cakes. I graduate in three weeks, I should be better than this.
