Cake Classes

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Manisha and I took an intro to cake decorating class in August so I thought I'd share some pics of the creations. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the cookies we did in the first week of class which actually turned out really cute.... guess you'll just have to take my word for it!  As you will see some classes were better than others!!

Week 2: Not so bad huh???

Week 3:  YUCK!! I was utterly disgusted with these hideous cupcakes and layers of icing! These ended up in the trash soon after this picture was taken.

Week 4: Slight redemption from the previous week BUT my flowers look a little like cabbages not the "Wilton rose" we were going for! lol! 

It was also graduation this week :)

The class was fun and I'm glad that we took it.  Here are a few things I learned:  a lot about cake decoration has to do with having the right consistency of icing---even with direction, I can't even come close to "mastering" being somewhat creative--- and perhaps the most interesting.....even I can get sick of icing! I don't want to make it, see it, smell it for a long while!!! 

So, Manisha, when are we signing up for the fondant class??? Juuuuuuust kidding :)
