Cake Class 101

So I signed up for one of those Wilton's beginners cake classes and prayed Kimmie would too. The first class was basically a lecture and homework. Let me say I highly underestimated how hard this was going to be and how much stuff I would buy. Kimmie and I started making the first cake the day before class 2. It took us 4 hours to make icing and ice the cake. See below.


Everything is out and ready to go.....




Layering-let's talk about crumbs. I have iced many cakes in my time but "she" the teacher told us to use a specific amount and for the life of me it wasn't enough. This is how I messed up my cake!!! It was so bad!


I fixed it before class!





We made a rainbow cake and I got icing everywhere-note the toe. Kimmie was clearly quicker on uptake than I was. End result...two cakes for her nieces and I successfully didn't eat any! 54 pounds down and still going! I would also like to give a thank you out to Randi. Those tips you bought me have come in handy. I wish you were here so you could take the class too. Miss and love you all!
