I put fake roses on the top layer of the cake and cut the stems off the roses. Monkey decided (after I got that bottom layer perfectly smooth) that she wanted to help decorate and jammed the stems into the cake. “Look Daddy, I helped!” You should have seen my husband’s face!! Luckily it was whipped cream frosting and VERY easy to fix!

The trick is to dip your spatula into a glass of hot water and swipe it over the frosting.
Cake still looks yummy!

You did such a smooth job for frosting… does using the whipped cream frosting help with that?
Whipped Cream frosting was a DREAM to frost with. It was not a dream, however, to decorate with. It separates from the heat of your hand. If you look on my cakes page you can see the giraffe and lion cake I did recently. That was with whipped cream.
LOL LOL LOL…Totally something I would do!

What? Cakes aren’t normally supposed to look like that? Maybe that’s why people always look at my cakes will goofy looks on their face.
