The 2nd order was strawberry monogram cupcakes.
This weekend I made my first sheet cake. Actually it was a 1/2 sheet, but that's still pretty big. I decided to try it out for my co-workers going away cake. I underestimated the size of the cake, so after I added the decorations I felt it looked a little bare. Of course this was at midnight, so I didn't have time to make any more decorations. My co-worker is moving to Georgia, so I made a tiny model of her car driving from Texas to Georgia. I made a vanilla cake with chocolate filling. I used the filling recipe from my Whoopie Pie book. It was good, but next time I'm going to use something a bit more creamy.
After practicing on my 1st sheet cake, I had to make another one for a wedding. I made a chocolate cake that looked like the Cuban flag. It was my first time making a cake like this. I need more practice because getting the corners smooth is not easy! But I was real happy with how the cake turned out.
