hapy anivversry.....

The project for today was an anniversary cake. It's a white cake that was sliced into 3 layers of 1" thickness each. A thin layer of apricot jam is spread on each layer and the sides. A very thin (1/16") sheet of marzipan is rolled out and molded onto the cake. The whole thing is topped off with a fondant glaze.
The structure of the cake is good, the marzipan roses look similar to roses and Happy Anniversary is spelled correctly. We actually had someone in class write Hapy on their cake. There is no edit key or scraping it off. I got confused in the middle of piping the double border. I forgot what was supposed to loop where so it turned out a little goofy. It's better than cake #1 but I still have a long way to go.
