I love cake decorating but it is, without a doubt, a skill that can require the meditative-like patience of a school teacher. Depending on what you’re trying to do, it can take hours or days to make a cake look as perfect as the image in your head. Not all of us have that kind of time. Being a skilled cake decorator…
