ButterSCREAM!

This is Mylee with the cake!

This was my first buttercream cake and I do have to say that it was one of the hardest that I did. I have heard people say that the fondant is so much harder. I must have to say that I disagree. I think that the fondant is a piece of cake, HAHAHA get it! Anyway enough of my lame jokes. I made this cake as a sale also. It was for my friend Rikki's baby Mylee. She is so cute and this cake was perfect for her. It was a monkey cake and after it was done I was very glad that I had done it. It was great experience for me to have, it helped me with my pipping skills. Needless to say they weren't that great and they still aren't, I am really practicing. At first I thought that they cake was going to be a complete failure, but the further I worked on the cake the cutter it became. I ended up loving this cake, though many things in the process went wrong. This cake was truly a learning experience and I hope that I have many more oppurtunities to make buttercream cakes. I do have to say that I will be sticking mostly with the fondant thing, but at least I will know how to make the buttercream. If you like monkeys than you will love this cake. I think that it was a wonderful idea.

P.S. Thank You Rikki for the pictures, I forgot to get some with my camera so I only have them on my phone!
