My attempts thus far in cake decorating have really been quite sad, but I'm excited to use the things I've learned in the class my sister-in-law and I are taking on a theme cake. Perhaps it won't be until the next birthday, but my resources & tools at this point reach far beyond Kai's 1st birthday pig cake.
Funny story. I spend an entire Friday afternoon preparing double layered cakes, frosting them, and preparing extra decorating frosting to take to my first class..... FROM SCRATCH. I was sadly disappointed we had NO time to attempt anything ON the cakes we brought to that class and ended up decorating it at home in a very uninspired fashion. The overload of making the cakes and taste-testing the frosting left me NOT wanting the first slice.....so to this day the full cake stands, untouched. I couldn't bring myself to eat a slice nor bring myself to throw it away (I just threw it tonight; a week and one day later). I've already promised myself a few of the cupcakes I decorated in class today ....making sure the preparing and sitting around for a week doesn't become a trend!
The uninspired cake with no theme and faded frosting after week 1.
The cupcakes.
