Class- Day 1

I started my cake decorating class Saturday, and I really enjoy myself. There were a few other people in the class....more than I expected but the first day was a run through of what we will be doing in class for the next three weeks.


 I now know how to make stiff, medium, and thin frosting and how to level and frost a cake :). To my surprise it's totally different then using store brought icing and a butter knife. Although I don't necessarily want to make cakes it is still nice to know the correct way do it. We practiced making stars, first on a practice board then on cookies.


My first star attempt, as you can see the first row is....wellll...not that great.



They got better after I had to do that star fill-in :)

 

My cookies came out GREAT!

This Saturday I will be taking my own cake and icing to class and we'll be leveling it, filling it and icing it, so that it can be decorated. I'm super excited because I wonder....will this make  me an official baker? Well maybe not but it damn sure feels good to feel something like one :). LOL.

FYI- If you need cupcakes with stars, I'm your girl!!! Any color you want...well any primary color, cuz that's all I have.

Til next week....
