I have learned a lot about the tricks of cake decor since, and have PLENTY more to learn, but it sure was satisfying to have the birthday child protest the cutting of his cake when the birthday song was over. He wanted to keep it forever...and I soon learned that his would not be the only tears shed when a favorite cake-ified object met the cake knife.
Herbie, the one that started it all
My nephew Jalen loves all things cars, and he had a particular love affair with Herbie. Yes, THAT Herbie from the 60s & 70s. In August 2004, he inspired my first foray into cake decorating. Armed with a car-shaped cake pan, two icing tips, and determination, I created my first cake.
