I started baking cakes when we were living in Des Moines in the early '90s after taking a Wilton decorating class. I only use Betty Crocker cake mix and a shortening/powdered sugar icing recipe. My cakes do taste pretty good, based on the comments I get as well as the requests to bake cakes for people.
When I started taking classes a few years ago, I knew that I had to give something up. Baking cakes was what had to go.
I'm ready to get back into the baking world, only now I want to try my hand at scratch-cakes and "real" buttercream icing. Brittany - one of my daughter's friends since we moved to Marshall in 1995 - and Mat are getting married in October, and Terry suggested that "we" make the wedding cake for our gift to them. I've owned Rose Levy Beranbaum's book, The Cake Bible for years, but haven't seriously tried any of the recipes. This time around, I'm getting serious and I'm going to find the perfect cake for Mat and Brittany's wedding!
