Final Cake!

It's done.  I finished my last cake class.  It was fun.  It was a nice outlet.  I felt creative.  My kids (Natali) were pretty impressed with my mad cake skills!  I am not sure when I will every had a need to make a basket weave cake...but at least  I know how.

Let Them Eat Cake

So for the month of March I have been taking a Wilton Cake class at our local Michaels.  And guess what?  I LOVE it!  It is so much fun.  I love the creative outlet.  I love that I am doing something just for me, because I wanted to.   Because it was something I had an interest and desire in and I wanted to learn more. So I rallied a few girls behind me and we went.  We learned how to make a MOIST cake, smooth out the icing (still working on that one), a DIVINE frosting recipe, and some basic decorating techniques.  Over the last month I think I have made at least 5 cakes.  I think my favorite was the lemon cake, with a lemon curd middle, and a light flavored lemon frosting.  Spring time in my mouth!  Here are a few pictures of my evolution of the cake.

I am no expert now, but it was a fun class.  I am ready and super excited for course 2!
