My Dream Came True!

Today, my biggest dream came true!!!!
I got to go to a bakery and learn from two professional cake decorators how to decorate cakes!
I have wanted to become a cake decorator since I was 4 years old.
The cake decorators names were Caitlin and Brittany, they were both very nice. :)

First I washed my hands, then they gave me a hairnet and apron. I had an apron to keep my dress from getting dirty, and I had a hairnet to keep my hair from getting into the cake.

I frosted the middle of the cake, I had to push out the frosting really hard. Brittany spun the plate around for me while I squeezed the frosting out. 

I put the top of the cake on, Caitlin said to lightly push it on so it would hold in place. Some of the frosting squeezed out from the middle. I wanted to eat it.

Brittany taught me how to point the pastry bag at an angle, cause you do't want any cake showing. She said once I get good at squeezing the frosting out and pointing it at an angle, I can do that with one hand and spin the plate with the other.

Then I finished frosting the top of the cake, and used the cake scraper to smooth it out. All you had to do was spin the plate and put the cake scraper at an angle, and then it turned out smooth. Brittany said that the cake scraper tool was awesome.

 Then we got vanilla frosting and natural vegetable dye, and made frosting colors to decorate the cake. We all made flower cakes. Me and Brittany both made a vanilla cake, and Caitlin made a chocolate cake. I had gold flowers, pink flowers, and blue flowers. The gold flowers were marigolds, the pink flowers were roses, and the blue flowers were morning glorys.

I feel so proud of myself for making such a beautiful cake! 

We are going to eat it after dinner, I can't wait to taste it!
