Have my cake...and eat it too!

I graduated! : ) ...from cake class that is. So this is my second attempt at taking Wilton Cake Class Course 1. The first time around...Aubrey interrupted my lessons mid-way by being born (how rude of her, right?) so I never finished the course. I took it at our local Hobby Lobby this time with my sister-in-law and it was a lot of fun. It's also a lot of work too to have all the prep done for each class!

I've made (and eaten) a lot of cake and icing this past month thanks to this class and Aubrey's party!

Here are a few pics of my efforts. Please don't judge to harshly...the class time is so jammed packed we don't often have but a few minutes to try each technique and precious little time at the end to decorate before class is over. It's fast-paced but I'm supposed to be practicing this all at home so if I get around to that, I'm sure I'll improve! : )

Also a little disclaimer on the photography: unfortunately its an evening class so I've got lovely indoor fluorescent light pictures, oh well, everything tasted good at least!

A few techniques on cupcakes....I may of had to taste test one on the way home : )

Otherwise my little "taste-testers" get them all!
