Congratulations to Cassy and Camila!

Why congratulate me you say?

March 2nd, me and my friend Camila started making a cake, a cake of such epic proportions that even we didn't think we could do it. Everything started out great, during my spare and during lunch we laboured over this cake. What's so hard about decorating a cake? Well, this was no ordinary cake, this cake was in the shape of a cheeseburger. So we got to work cutting out pieces of icing into all kinds of shapes (cheese, pickels, tomatoes, onions).

After the first night we ran into our first problem... we didn't fondant (icing) the bottom piece of cake, the bottom bun, so it didn't match the top, and our fondant for the cheese and add-ons had started to melt!
"Don't worry Cassy!" said Camila, "The cheese looks so real now!"
And it did, I didn't realize at first, but this "disaster" had turned out rather well, our cheese had actually melted. So we got back to work, putting fondant on the bottom piece of cake.

On the 6th we entered our cake in the contest (not to mention this was Camila's birthday) my mom, my boyfriend and I all made a trip to the small town of Westmeath and waited for our name to be announced. Little did we know the actual prize ceremony wouldn't be taking place until 8:00 that night. We found that out and hightailed it out of there.

Later that night Camila sent me a text "Cassy! We won! We won the contest!"

All in all, I entered my first cake decorating contest and won! Not many people can say that. :D
