CAKE DECORATING 101 !!!!


I went over to Sue and Aunt Billie's house and basically took over their kitchen, because I needed an oven to bake cakes that I could then decorate! What would I have done without them??? Who knew you would have to bake cakes to decorate in a decorating class...haha! Just a day in a life without an oven :) Something that I got to experiment with when I was baking was "Bake Even Cake Strips"...they really helped make the sides of my cake raise and bake evenly...giving me a taller more level cake! Today we learned how to hold the icing bag, the positionings for stars, letters, borders. We learned pressure control and how to recognize good frosting consistencies. I call this cake my polka dot with stars cake, I took a circle cookie cutter and pressed it into the cake to make my outlines and then I started in the middles. I am really getting excited about this class....I have been in desperate need to do something creative!
