Cake Decorating!

Thursday night, I had my first cake decorating class where I actually decorated a cake!  The week before we just went over stuff about the class, and the instructor demonstrated some stuff and explained what we needed to do for the next class.  We had a choice of making the Rainbow cake, or the Cupcake cake.  I went with the Cupcake!  It turned out really cute!  I was pretty proud of myself.  I thought it turned out pretty good for my first time!



We made our own icing, and tinted it ourselves.  She just gave us a list of colors of icing to bring to class.  Mine all came out very pastel.  I could probably make a pretty good cake at Easter!  Next week we're decorating cupcakes, and we're learning how to make flowers!  By the end of the class, I'll know how to make a rose!

In other news, we got a German sign made for our door.  There's a German man who works at the BX (it's like a mall here) and he does wood burning.  I was VERY pleased with how our's turned out!  He's very good, and very fast.  He doesn't even have to stencil the letters.  Just free-hands them and they turn out perfect!
Herzlich Wilkommen is like a warm, hearty welcome.  I love it!!!

That's all for now.  Thanks for reading!

Good job!! Is it a Wilton class or just someone teaching basic cake decorating? Are you still looking for a job? Maybe you could do cakes!? :)

It is a Wilton class. I'm not looking for a job right now. Maybe if I get good enough, I could teach the class!
