Impressive Amateur Cakes!
My sister C's highschool had an applied skills night showing off the senior home economic classes' cake creations. I was delightfully surprised by the impressive cake decorations displayed - not bad at all for amateurs! This goes to show that you don't have to be a bakery chef to create impressive cakes, you just need a little patience and a whole lot of trial and error.
My absolute favourite is the Wallace and Gromit cake
Followed by the Picnic
Domo-kun (this one was actually made by my godbrother)
The Piano
Monopoly
and Sushi
I didn't stay for the cake tasting because I don't like the taste of fondant, but seeing these cakes makes me jealous that I never got the chance to learn how to decorate cakes like these.
Have you ever tried elaborately decorating your own cake? What was your experience like?

- About Me: I'm a Visual Arts undergrad at University of British Columbia in beautiful Vancouver. I'm a piscetarian which limits my choices at restaurants sometimes - I'm sorry I love my sushi too much. I love to eat! I mean, what else is there to do in Vancouver but take advantage of the diverse cuisine we have here? I think food has a bonding effect on people because over dinner we talk, laugh, enjoy each other's company and everyone at the table are your friends. I grew up in a hybrid culture - east meets west, which allowed me to learn and experience various cuisines. I also grew up in a family that loves and stresses on cooking and respect for food - grandmothers always cooking something, aunts trying to help in the kitchen and shooing us out, uncles doing the "labour work" of gutting and sneaking us sips

nicee.. i wanna learn to make something pretty!
those are pretty cool!
I wish I could do that! That would be awesome! I get jealous every time I watch the Challenge on FoodNetwork. Gahhh oh well I guess
I used to decorate ice cream cakes at one of my jobs. It was quite fun, actually. I did things with better cream and ganache... didn't use fondant. I had a fun time with it all the same, though.
DOMO!
The Wallace and Gromit cake is superb!
DOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!
