Vokeylicious

I'm taking a cake decorating class so each week for the next 2 weeks, my homework is to bake a cake! I had my first "hands on" class last night (the first week was just an introduction to the supplies and frosting). We practiced with the star tip and the result was this Vokey-inspired creation (some of you may recognize the 'Hound in the Round' pattern and tote bag).

Not only am I using this class as an opportunity to improve my cake decorating techniques, I am also experimenting with new cake flavors and fillings. This week's cake was a 3 layer Toasted Almond Mocha cake (made with organic whole wheat flour) from our new King Arthur Whole Grain Baking book!

I think 'Vokeylicious' sums it up!
