Young Womens in Excellence

I love cake decorating and want to someday teach cake decorating. I also have a goal to get good enough to do wedding cakes for Nieces and Nephews and possibly make some money on the side doing an occasional event. This week our church had a program called young women in excellence, young women in our group were getting highlighted for there faith and good works ect. The young ladies in our church group have a list of 8 core values each has a color assigned to it. Example is integrity-purple, faith-white. I need ways to practice my cake decorating, so I volunteered to make all the desserts for this event. I made cupcakes representing each of the value colors. I made a total of 68 cupcakes. 8 per color plus 4 left over. This is the final display and individual pictures.

My island in the kitchen covered with cupcakes. It took about 8 eight hours of time to construct and bake all the cupcakes and when I was finished I was like a giddy child. I was so excited and proud of my work. I can defiantly see improvement.
