I'm a cookie decorator, but recently I've had a real uptick in people wanting to order cakes and cupcakes. I decided to give it a shot and have been practicing behind the scenes using tips and tricks from this sub, so thank you all! Yesterday, I finished my first cake ever for my niece's 4th birthday! I did not manage my time well and definitely see some areas I could improve on next time if I'm not so rushed, but for my first try I'm proud! It's vanilla bean cake with vanilla American buttercream
