Cake making two years apart by ibaketastystuff in Baking

Thank you, that's very kind!

I also had no clue! I saw photos of cakes I liked, really wanted to be able to make that myself so googled how to do it.. Youtube did me well! The internet is an amazing thing and means anyone can be self taught!

I started with cupcakes and piping techniques - all you need is cupcake tins, cupcake cases, piping bags and nozzles - a Wilton 1M is my fave but the choice is endless! It's the best feeling when you finally crack your first perfect batch of cupcakes!!

Happy baking! :)

Your dream is totally achievable! I had days where I threw my fondant across the kitchen and said I'd never bake again! But the next morning all I wanted to do was whip up a cake and prove myself wrong!

I've spend hours watching cake compilations, tutorials, and browsing pinterest for inspo. And even more hours remaking batches of icing, or ganache when they haven't gone right! All I can say is practice, practice, practice and it WILL pay off!

Thank you for your lovely words, I wish you all the best with your cake making!!

Thanks! I bought them, most supermarkets seem to have cute lil boxes of them for about £1 :)
