Cake perfect

I was on the quest for the perfect cake icing... It's a little bit hard to create icing for a cake when you are limited to the contents of your kitchen pantry because you don't want to drive to the grocery store in the ice.
My quest began with this little beauty created for my friend's birthday

THAT is a cake! It looks like a Louis Vuitton purse!! But it is a CAKE!

This is why I should learn how to decorate them because that is incredible. So we didn't eat the Louis Vuitton cake because I am pretty sure that is some kind of blasphemy, but the sheet cake on the bottom was probably the best cake I have ever eaten in my whole life. Thus bringing me back to my quest... to find the recipe for the most amazing icing. Attempt one was good, but it was not perfect. Here is a little view of the steps taken




I may have forgotten to take a picture of the final product (Oops)

I would just take a picture of it now, but luckily for all my hard work working out I took the entire thing to work today. Maybe there will be some left when I go in tomorrow.

Phase One: Not the perfect icing.
