So about 2 months ago (Yes, I know it's been a while) I decided to undertake a cake decorating course, just to get a bit of formal training. I learnt so much from this course, although more of the course had to do with baking the cake and masking (covering the cake in icing or cream) and not so much fondant work however I took up some valuable skills as well as had an insight to what it is like being in an industrial kitchen. Here's what I baked for the 5 weeks:
- Yule Log (sponge with whipped cream and bakers jam rolled, covered in chocolate ganash)
- Carrot Cake (covered in cream cheese icing and marzipan carrots)
- Black Forest Cake
- Chocolate Sponge 'Happy Birthday Cake''
- Square Chocolate Sponge Cake with rossettes, roses and leaves piped on :)

| Bare with me, transporting these cakes home is quite hard! |
