My first cake

This was the first cake I made; it was a basic sponge cake (filled with a layer of jam and a layer of buttercream) and after using regal icing (roll out icing) I 'flooded' a picture of the Union flag using royal icing. This is a great method of putting a picture on a cake. I then used the same colours to do a rope edging for the bottom of the cake. I know it's not perfect - but you need practice for that, and having done it once I now know how to make it even better!
