In the beginning...

A few months ago, my friend Lisa asked me if I would take a cake decorating class with her. I thought that sounded fun (plus I would get to eat cake), so I signed up too. I asked my cousin, Stephanie, if she would like to as well. She was less than enthused, but thought it would be good to get out of the house. Plus, we had made her son's 1st birthday together (which was a first for both of us, and it was a 3D duck) and we were so proud of it! So, she signed up too.  We were both hooked after the first class! It was so much fun, and so rewarding! We have now signed up for our third round of classes, and can't wait to get our hands on that fondant! Now, looking back on that duck, we can see all the mistakes we made. And you can too...



It had many imperfections, but we will always remember him fondly.
He was delicious!

As our skills grow, cake decorating becomes more and more of a passion. I can't wait til this weekend! We are going to be working on our King Cake (banana cake, peanut butter filling and chocolate buttercream icing), and making a fondant bow in class! Check back in a few days for the pictures!
