So this was my first baking experiment....the cupcake castle for Evyn's first birthday. There were a few minor problems and a couple of random moments of sheer panic when I thought to myself, 'Why in the world would I want to ruin my last baby's first birthday by trying to make the cake myself?' But - all in all - I think I did ok for never having piped a drop of icing in my life. At this point I wasn't even sure what buttercream icing even was, and (obviously,) had no idea that you couldn't put it directly onto normal wrapping paper to add decorations to the cake board without the grease from the butter oozing into it. So the castle turrets (is that the word?) had a halo. Big deal. It definitely didn't ruin the party. Who knew it would be the first baby step down the road to this hobby, which I LOVE, that it took me 3 decades to find?
