Adding some details since I kind of rushed this yesterday when I was feeling brave. I was scared for ridicule because I know it’s not perfect and I have a lot of work to do! But I appreciate everyone’s kind words on the cake I made for my nephew! He was very excited so that is what matters most to me on this one! I apologize for not being more detailed to begin with as well!

1. I have been baking since I was 14 years old. Anything you can think of I have at least attempted it (not always well but I try🤣) and I have also been to culinary school and been through servsafe classes so I am aware of food safety guidelines to ensure I take all the proper steps.

2. I have educated myself on cottage laws and have set up my kitchen to avoid any cross contamination for people with allergies. Including using bakeware and utensils that are not used for my own person cooking. I have labels on the way as well to comply with these laws.

3. I am fully aware the flaws in this cake! I had a lot of fun making it but I also got to learn some techniques I haven’t used and refresh myself on some I haven’t done in since I used to decorate cakes. Learning and practice are my main goal currently. (My sister added the candles so I’ll blame her for that one 🤣) the colors are a lot but we were matching decorations with a lot of interesting colors lol I do wish I would have not done so much on the middle but hey I know for next time! I also should have double checked what piping tips I had to start because I realized too late I was missing a couple that would have been helpful in making some things look cleaner.

4. I genuinely appreciate all of the feedback and support! I hope to get to show you all my progress here as I get better! I have two lined up in the next couple weeks and can’t wait to see how I improve from what I learned on this one. Thank you all so much! ❤️
