Rails Rocks Clocks

So it was my little boy’s birthday a few weeks ago, and we were having a big party for him. Turning 3 years old is a big thing for most kids! We had all the regulars- pin the tail on the donkey, watched a movie, treat bags, opening of the gifts- and of course the all important cake. Now, I am not the best baker by any means. In fact, most would say that my baked goods have the aesthetic value of a rock. This year, however, I decided to wow everyone. I wanted this to be a special birthday cake for my little guy.

Now, the basic recipe for a cake is quite easy, and not even I can mess that up. The tricky part is the decorating of the cake. This is where I used to continuously fail. But now, birthday cake decorating has become so much easier. After looking for help on the net, I came across some super helpful websites when browsing the net. You can find step by step tips to help with things from shaping the cake, making the right icing and even exactly how to apply the icing for artistic value!

The cake was a hit with the kids, especially my special little guy! The loved the look of the scary dinosaur cake, as well as the delicious taste. As for me, I now look forward to more baking! If your armed with a good cook book and helpful tips, you will be ready to take on the baked goods world.
