Frosting success!! Vanilla cakes with cream cheese frosting and hundreds & thousands


Hurray! I have mastered the cream cheese frosting that I've been trying to accomplish for weeks! And all it came down to was using a whisk instead of a wooden spoon to mix the frosting together.

I used the exact same recipe as last time and I decorated them this week with hundreds & thousands / tiny sugar balls.

This week I also tried something with the piping bag for the first time. I used a zip lock bag, as usual, to pipe out the frosting but instead of cutting across the corner to make a hole, I cut two very small slits going up the bag. This, effectively created a four corner star shape. It wasn't a very defined star, I need to practice to make the slits very delicate, but still was very effective.

I also need to practice making circles with a piping bag because every time I go round I seem to make more of a triangle shape!

I'm very pleased with the outcome, I think they look great. The cakes are absolutely delicious!!
