Even From A Young Age

As a child I would watch my mom decorate cakes and think I would enjoy doing that.  It wasn't until I was in 4-H that I got the opportunity to explore that creative side of me.  With the help from my mom I learned how to pipe many different designs and a few beginner techniques using my cake decorating 4-H handbook.  That year I entered a cake shaped like a Pepsi can and I received first place in my division as well as first place over all. 

Here is the cake that I entered that year when I was only 15 years old.  I used a V-8 can to bake the cake in and then piped on the icing using a star tip.  For an added touch, I placed a straw coming out of the top. (not shown here)
