Since I took up cake decorating my Alan has been requesting a Steampunk themed cake. Between school, work, and raising a toddler, his request always seemed to take the back seat. I finally gave it a try! Definitely the biggest cake to date, and we are definitely still trying to eat through it.
Sometimes I have grand dreams for a cake, and when the finished product doesn't live up to my dreams I get quite discouraged. This Steampunk cake is one such cake. What's the best cure for such a situation? Make another cake! Only next time, keep the project a bit simpler and a little extra effort so it becomes extraordinary!
