developing my talents

"Cake decorating is basically an art form for me." --Terri Steely

I just finished another cake decorating class. I can honestly tell you that is was probably the funnest thing I have done for myself in a long time. I had so much fun each week going to Michael's and learning more about fondant and gumpaste (not that I really new anything in the first place). The class really did teach me a lot and gave me an even greater appreciation for what people can do with cakes.

My friend Noelle Stringham and I went together. She is the one who invited me along and boy oh boy was I so thrilled to take another class with a friend. I have wanted to take another class since my first one two years ago.

The first week was kind of an introduction, but we did make a bow out of 50/50 (half fondant and half gumpaste). It was a true insight into the class, it got me all giddy for what else was in store for us.

Second week: Calla Lillies, Roses, and Carnations

Love making these!!! They are really fun!

Okay maybe these are my favorite

Third week: Daisies, Mums, and covering cake boards with Fondant

or maybe the daisies...shoot I don't know which one.

Fourth Week: Boarders, covering cakes, and completing our final cake

Taaahhhhddaaahhh

It was so much brighter in person, I loved it.

Happy Cake Decorating to one and all :)
