Cake Number Two...

This was the second cake I ever made in my Wilton class nearly one year ago.

It was hands down better than my first cake.

But sill, I struggled with getting crumbs in my icing and giving it a smooth appearance.

One thing that I think was a bit challenging, was that our instructor was brand new.

She had never taught a class before.

I learned later from many baking friends that there were KEY skills she left out of our class.

For example, I mentioned I struggled with getting crumbs in my icing.

A baker friend of mine said, "You mean they didn't teach you how to crumb coat?"

Nope.

She didn't.

Since then, I have learned that crumb coating is THE way to go.

But...

For being only my second cake ever...
I don't think it was too bad.
