Cake Decorating

For Christmas Ben signed me up for Cake Decorating Classes and him (and my parents) got me a bunch of cool cake decorating stuff. So I have been taking the first Wilton cake decorating course at Hobby Lobby throughout the month of January with Rachel, who is taking them with me. The first week was mainly just talking and explaining and we missed one week- while in Idaho for the funeral. So this last week was our first “hands on” week of decorating however with frosting catastrophes (on our side, the other students side and even the teacher had difficulties) we only practiced (making roses) and didn’t actually end up decorating the cakes we took. So when we got back I decorated my cake- with the wrong frosting (cream cheese frosting instead of gross Crisco frosting) and using ‘advanced’ methods (the basket weave- which is not taught until the third corse). The cake was lopsided and odd colors, but it tasted good. Here are some pictures; there will be more to come next week.
