Let them eat cake!

Posted by DeAnna Allan

I had my final test tuesday night in Course 1 Wilton Method Cake Decorating. For our last assignment, we had to do a whole cake, not just cupcakes. I did a two‑layer chocolate cake, with white buttercream icing as my base. I’m pretty happy with the way my final cake turned out, considering I didn’t have a specific plan in mind for how I was going to decorate it. I kind of just went with it! Here’s some pics for you (don’t drool too much, now):

I’m now terrified to make Kyle’s birthday cake though. One of the ladies in class was trying to make a Strawberry Shortcake character cake and she was having a devil of a time. I think that if she was at home alone doing it she would have given up or started cursing a blue streak! Apparently character cakes are pretty hard to decorate. My mom made a Ziggy cake for me for my 10th birthday, and she said “If I can do it, you can do it!” Of course she would say that. She’s always been very supportive and uplifting. Anyway, I’m going to try to make Lightning McQueen for his birthday cake. We’ll see how I do! Next Lynn and I are taking Course 2. At least I get a little bit of a break from cake for a week or so. Our next course starts on the 8th of July. I can’t believe next week is July already. Kyle’s birthday is coming way too fast!!

Oh, and because I didn’t get a chance to post a picture of the clowns we made in our second to last class, here they are. They are very cute, and dead easy! I like this picture because Kyle’s head is just peeking over the counter – he snuck into the shot just at the last second! So cute. He can’t say cupcake very well, so he calls them pupcake. :p These pics are also in the gallery called Photos which you can find on the left hand side bar.

I haven’t had time to work on my next lesson for the Jessica Sprague Now We’re Rockin’ class. We’ve been prepping for our camping trip for the last couple of days. I’m hoping to have it mostly done tomorrow before we leave so I can show everyone. Check out the gallery to see some of the amazing layouts the other students have created!
