Let them eat cake! (practice round)

Tonight was my 3rd cake decorating class. My teacher asked we each bring a cake to practice on so we can be ready for next week's cake. Now, this cake is fully edible, but it just doesn't look as good as next week's cake (God willing next week's looks good). Tonight I learned the basket weave effect which you see on the sides of the cake. I am going to have to invest in a cake spinner, it will definitely make my life easier! I'm learning so much and I can't wait to take Course 2 in May! Tomorrow while we're in class we'll eat my creation.
