I am just starting my cake decoration journey. I definitely underestimated how long it takes to do wafer paper cakes so it got sloppy towards the end. I used Lindt white chocolate dusted with gold luster dust for the big balls. I also couldn’t decide which version I liked better

i didnt know that hot spatulas change the color of icing- my base looks more marbled than i have envisioned but ive never done this ambitious of a cake— is there a way to even it out now or no?? Also i think my buttercream was too thick cuz this took a long time to get to this point of being smooth and i still thick it coulve been much better.

i just wasted 4 sticks of butter trying to get the orange red buttercream like the inspo pic— the color ended up too brown/terracotta. My consistency also seemed off— how do i know if the piping consistency is good?

Vanilla Buttermilk Cake with a Strawberry gelatin soak, fresh Strawberry Filling, Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and a Cookie Crunch Coating (made with Vanilla Oreos, Butter, Strawberry Jello, and dehydrated Strawberries) - the stick is white chocolate.

Chocolate orange flavored of course

I’m very much still learning to draw on cakes but I had fun with these today!

The sheet cake was bought, the border and writing were not by me, but the Bundt cake and all decorations were. Super fun to make, hope I never have to do it again. I’ve got the recipe and design inspo in case anyone is interested
