Blue and Dots
I don't usually consider myself to be a creative person so decorating cakes is not a task that is coming easily. I looked online to try and get some ideas of what type of cake to make and most of what I found seemed to be far beyond my capabilities at this point. So this time instead of making a chocolate cake I made a vanilla one. This one is different though because I decided to do two layers and between the two layers I added a chocolate filling. I love chocolate so this cake had to have it somewhere on it! Then for the icing I used plain white frosting and put blue coloring in it. Then on top of the blue icing I used the rest of the plain white and decorated it with polka dots on the top and sides. The polka dots ended up different sizes because I have never done this before but it still turned out somewhat decent. Even though I was having trouble with thinking of a new idea what I created was still different from anything that I have done which I think is the main point of taking on a decorating challenge. I wasn't able to have anyone taste it yet, I hope it's good!
