I did make a dessert this week it wasn't in my book it was for a friend of mine. It was her son's birthday and she asked if I could make him a cake and I said sure.
It was the first Lightning cake I have done and I did pretty good if I say so myself. It was a little harder then I thought. I know a few things since making this cake. One-I need more cake tips number 3's and number 16's (They seem to be in a lot of recipes) I also need more inserts that go in the frosting bags. If I had at least two to three more of each I think I could have cut my time by about an hour. That's my guess. I also had a hard time making a deep red and I used a lot of coloring too. The directions told me to use brown with red but all I got was brown. I guess that means that it's one more thing I will have to practice with. The frosting is a cream cheese frosting (Not whipped) your frosting needs to be a little bit on the thicker side to decorate with.
The cake was a marble cake which was easier to make then I thought. Go figure aren't most things. haha! Anyway This is the fourth cake that I have decorated and I liked it a lot.
I attached a picture of the finished product which everyone seemed to enjoy. Happy Birthday Hunter.
