Cake Class – Lesson 3

cupcakes, Decorating, friends, Wilton cake class

So last night was our 3rd class of 4. I’m so sad that next week will be the last one! Well… not really the last because I plan on taking the fondant and gel paste class along with flower decorating, but I am sad that this one is ending! Last night we had to bring 6 cupcakes to decorate. We also had to go ahead and color 6 batches of icing for our decorating. At class, we learned how to make different types of flowers, including the rose, pom pom flower, drop flowers, and the shaggy mum.  It was yet another fun night with the girls and a fun night of learning more about something that I LOVE to do! Here are some pics from the night!

This is how you're supposed to ice a cupcake. Outside to inside and finish with the star!

Baking, Decorating, friends, Wilton cake class

This past Monday was my 2nd class in my Cake Basics class that I am attending at a local college. We had to bring a cake that was already made and iced along with extra icing for decorating it while at the class. The Saturday before, Caitlin and Miranda came over and we all made our icing. I love my class even more because I get to do it with friends!

So Monday night, we decorated our cakes. Learned different techniques on how to hold the bag you are piping with and which tips you need to use.

We colored icing. I ate icing. And it was just a fun night. Next week we are learning how to make roses and decorate cupcakes! I’m really looking forward to it!!

Here are our finished products!!
