I thought it might be fun to show off how far you have come in decorating skill by posting or linking your 1st cake and your most recent creations.

Here was my final cake from Wilton 1 in Feb of 2006:

How fun! Well I've only done about 8 cakes from first to last (wow, it's hard to believe it's been so few...because each one takes about 3 weeks LOL) but I'm going to cheat and show my first and one from last month. I just today posted a shower cake that I'm proud of but I think my July tea party cake shows my growth better, because they were both for the same group of friends, same size cake and even same cake and icing...but the decorations are like night+day. I feel like I owe the first gal a "redo" icon_smile.gif.

Well I couldn't find any pictures of my "first cake", I think I have gotten rid of those icon_smile.gif I did however find a picture of the first wedding cake type cake I tried for my J&W final in my first cake class. I warn you its awful! My last cake I was pretty proud of, it was done for a couple of close friends. I was rushing at the end and the little cakes didn't come out as smooth as I had hoped, but overall it looked nice.

I think all of you have done a wonderful job on your cakes...they are all amazing. Here are mine....

My first one was my first fondant...had many issues with it and not to mention that the poor babies faces look horrible! Oh well..there is a first time for everything!

My very first cake was for my DD almost 8 years ago and then I didn't do any more cakes until my Wilton classes last spring. So all but that very first cake has been in just the last year or so. I can tell you that CC has been a blessing for learning how to decorate!! My latest cake was for my other DD that just got married Aug. 4th. I don't know how to link, sorry, so I'll have to post. icon_confused.gif

It's neat to see how far we've all come. I attribute a lot of my knowledge to the great folks here on CC. Thanks so much!

I've only been making cakes since I took cake decorating classes earlier this year.

Here's one I made in May (a little lumpy)... icon_redface.gif

Merissa, you have the best idea's for fun forum posts! My first 'real' is from April this year. All butter buttercream, before I knew about Viva:

This is my next-to-latest one:

It's so cool to see how far everyone has come, you guys are doing an awesome job!!!
'A waste of time' is a good example of the theory of relativity. 4 hours spent on decorating a cake is a long time, 'a waste of time', to some, but to the decorator those hours seem like minutes because they're doing something they love.

What a fun topic!

Here's one of my first cakes, came out cute but that lovely messy foil covered board really adds something, doesn't it? icon_wink.gif

Here's the last cake I did, this past week. This site can take all the credit for the vast improvement:
