Always start simple, no matter what. The more you practice, the more reasonably ambitious you can get.
Thanks! I appreciate the input.

All the cake scraps basically get thrown away =(. I share some of the white/yellow cake pieces with my dog, but not too much. I don't want him getting sick.

Eventually, if this becomes a bigger YouTube channel and I'm making 3-5 cakes a week--I want to find a way to donate them to a foodbank or something. Or maybe provide birthday cakes for children on hard times. It sounds almost too good to be true, so I'm still skeptical of the idea. I'm sure the local Walmart wouldn't appreciate me basically pawning off cakes for free though.
