Just Practicing

I need more practice before doing my first wedding cake in June, so last night I decided to have a go. I really need more piping practice so that my dots don't look like mini chocolate chips. I definitely did not have the right consistency of frosting for piping. I will try some more. I also was experimenting with borders. This is the little bead border with the fondant red with white frosting in between. The flower on top is supposed to look like a ribbon rose. You can make a whole lot of these and use them for a border, too. Anyway, here it is. Not great, but I also did it pretty quickly with no design in mind ahead of time (A BIG NO-NO for someone with a degree in Graphic Design!)
