Wilton Cake Decorating Basic Course

This was the first cake I decorated during the Wilton cake decoration course. A simple pound cake. Used piping to decorate it. I was a lil' short of the buttercream icing, hence the cake is peeping out at the corners. :D Still, not pretty bad for a first timer. Right? ;)

I loved the color combo. I was just trying to make it look as cute as possible. ;)

The Kitchen Affaire turns One :)
