Cakes, Round 2.

I have to admit, I wasn't exactly thrilled when we started cakes 2 yesterday. But, it isn't so bad. Now that things are getting a bit more advanced, and there's something seriously relaxing about decorating a cake. It's an excellent creative outlet. And once I let myself forget it was cake, meant to be consumed, and viewed it as a "craft" project, it wasn't so bad! We also have our old level one chef back for the week, who likes to yell, a lot. Luckily he doesn't ever yell at me, but two girls have come close to tears this week, and everyone is on their guard. For the exam on Tuesday, we have to make a special occasion cake (aka Happy Birthday, Congratulations! or what not). The theme, chosen by the class is Casino Night. It's a 6 inch three layer round cake, and we can decorate how we choose (and pick the occasion). I have some ideas, but suggestions are very much appreciated!
