Cake Decorating

I am excited to announce that I am starting cake decorating classes this Wednesday. It is just the beginning Wilton classes, but I hope to eventually take all of the classes. My mother-in-law is a great cake decorator and she has helped me with many of my cakes (especially the carousel cake and my first roses for Grant and Liam's baptism cake). She gave me cake decorating tools last year for Christmas and encouraged me to take the classes. For whatever reason, I never got to the classes in 2008. My mom gave me cake decorating stuff for Christmas this year and I decided to sign up for the classes in January before I could get too busy. These are pictures of the cakes I have decorated so far. With the exception of Mia's first birthday cake, I have made all of the kids birthday cakes. It is something creative I can do and the kids seem to like picking out the themes. Mia is having a princess birthday this year and I am excited to try the classic "wonder mold" pan again to make her a princess doll cake.

I'll share more from the classes later. Hopefully they have enough signed up for the class so I can take it!

**Tear...The lady from JoAnn called and said that they are 2 short to have the class. She will call again tonight to let me now for sure, but it doesn't look like it will happen this month. They repeat the classes every month, so I will just stay on the list until there are enough people. Bummer.
