FIRST CAKE

       To start off my name is Megan and for Christmas I got a Cricut cake and some way cool supplies. They are way fun and I already know how to use the machine because my sister has a cricut expression.  It is really fun to use and very, very easy. All you need is the right tools and you are set.  
        I made my first cake and it was really fun. I kinda forgot to take lots of pictures and so I just picked the best one out of them all.  It was a lot of fun and I have already learned some new things too. 
       My theme for this cake was a winter snow flake cake and it was really fun to learn how to make. So we started off by making a chocolate cake, let me tell you now that it is not as easy to decorate unless it is pound cake, because regular cake just falls apart and is really hard to decorate. Then we let that sit for a while and then we iced it with vanilla icing. Then we got to the fun part which is the fondant.  So we picked out the colors we wanted and what we wanted to cut out. So we did regular white all around it, and then we did two different colors of blue and cut out a couple of snowflakes and then in red  we did polka dots.  That was really fun just cutting them out and then we stuck them on to the cake. Then came the really fun part, EATING IT!!! IT was really good and we got to share it with some of my close family.
