I decided that I want to do something interactive here on iambaker.
*More on that in a moment.
Then I decided to give myself a challenge.
So then I grabbed a decorators tip and told myself that I would decorate three cakes with it.
And then I decided that the theme was numbers.
Here is the tip I chose. Its a #150. The shape is similar to an oblong rectangle. Its pretty basic.
So how do I design three different cakes with one tip?
You can go nuts here and pick any theme or any inspiration that strikes your fancy, but I just decided to use numbers. So the next job was how to interpret them into frosting.
So yeah, I just sorta copied them exactly. Maybe I will "interpret" numbers next time.
I liked how these turned out… its a simple, do-able, fun design that you can customize to any lucky recipient.
I think "1" was my favorite.
Audrey adored "2". The boys just wanted to eat them.
They can be customized for a little girls birthday or a tea party or make them blue and put a "You Did It" on the flag then surprise your kidlets on their first day home from school.
But there is more.
Here is where you come in. I was hoping we could work together for the greater good of man.
Then make cakes and stuff.
You pick a decorators tip.
I will make three different cake designs from it using buttercream frosting.
Pick any tip. If I don't have it, I will get it.
I will make cakes until you are sick of this little game and call your mom to come pick you up.
Here is where I totally lost focus of the cakes and started cutting hydrangea's in my yard and had visions of becoming a florist.
And here is where I counted my blessings that I could make cakes, be outside in the beautiful sun, and still be spending time with the little people that I made. Birthed. You know what I mean.
*blissful sigh*
Back to work.
The challenge has been set. Now its up to you. I need you to help me focus.
You pick a decorators tip and give me the number and brand and I will get to bakin'.
Depending on the number of suggestions I will either pick a comment at random or just agree to that one that Cheryl has been buggin me about.
Ya know. If there are no other suggestions. 😉
WOW! Your three cakes, one tip is wonderfully creative. I love your pictures, especially the table setting, which was beautifully arranged.
i love 2 too 😉 beautiful. thanks for the tips
Wow, I love your idea Amanda 🙂 I would like to see you use Wilton tip #123.
I think you should try Wilton’s grass/hair tip #233
OH MY HECK!!!……..Amanda how do you do that? how do you just think this stuff up?
I love how those cakes look all together!….but my favorite is the #2 cake!……..and the pans they are sitting on!…….and lets not forget that little cutie in the grass!!
Now I need to go look at cake tips and let you know what I want to see!! How fun!!

I love how creative you are, and I adore that little man in the grass. i wanna squeeze him. Come over already.
Pretty cakes! And the little guy is so cute:)
this is so cool- great techniques and very imaginative to think out of the box like this.
By the way, your baby is beautiful, and that whole scene is dreamy. Is that your yard? Gorgeous!
I like the number 2! I think the grass tip would be cool too, I love that one! Love all your cakes! I have been done your rose ones and they are loved! 🙂
