Course 1/Class 3

Last class in Course #1...we learned how to make roses, and let me tell you...I have a newfound admiration for cake decorators! They are NOT easy to make! The fact that my icing wasn't the right consistency didn't help much either, lol, but I was determined to at least get 3 on there!



I did Stars around the border...what can I say? I stick w/comfort.



You can see how my petals are ruffly on the top of the edges...my instructor said that it's because the frosting wasn't stirred right before being put into the bag...oy! All I can do is keep trying...
We also learned how to make Stems, Leaves, and Sweet Peas as well! I start Course 2 tonight, so we'll see how that goes! I need to go make 6 cups of frosting now...

Course 1/Class 2

Here's my cake from Class #2...we learned Shells, Dots, and the Rose Base.



Can you tell I was talking to people from the WDWCollege Program before my class (hence the yellow and red/Mickey)



Here's a close-up of the Dots, and I reverted back to the Star technique.



Shells are NOT my friend :) maybe w/some practice, lol! It's still fun to learn though!
