Do you like a seven-layer cake? Or would you like to create a cake in the shape of a baseball diamond with bases and baseball players in honor of your dad's birthday with his favorite team marked in the colored icing? Or would you prefer a jazzy chocolate cake with beautiful red roses and a green border? You can make any of these cakes. It starts with knowing the basics like simple borders, decorations and cake molds. Then it advances to lace/lattice work, tiered cakes, special icings and finally advanced flowers. Creativity — it's just a piece of cake!
