I took a cake decorating class to learn to use the cake decorating icing bags and tips to decorate a cake with buttercream frosting. We had cake layers pre-made for us so we could focus on the frosting and decorating. We made a vanilla buttercream frosting to use, then we started by cutting our cake in half, leveling each piece, then "gluing" them together with a layer of icing in between.
Next we put a very thin layer of frosting around the whole cake to seal in the crumbs and let it chill to set up.
After that, we put a thick layer of frosting all over, trying to make a smooth, uniform surface.
While the frosting chilled and hardened in the fridge, we practiced with the pastry bags, piping out shapes onto parchment paper
Finally, we decorated our cakes
I brought mine to a friend's house to share because I didn't need a whole vanilla cake in my fridge, too tempting
