I had soooo much fun last night! I went to my first Wilton Cake Decorating Class at Hobby Lobby. I had signed up a few months ago and have been eagerly awaiting my first day. :) I don't know what it is about cake decorating but I've always wanted to try it. I blame those cake decorating shows . . . like Cake Boss. Or I'll walk into a bakery and wish that I could make those beautiful birthday and wedding cakes. And of course it will take me longer than one class to actually make a nice looking cake but I am excited for the journey. :)
The classes are normally around $45 dollars for one course, but I used a %50 off coupon and only paid like $20. :) The classes are two hours long and I have them once a week for four weeks. I'm already excited to take the later courses once I'm finished with this one. There are three courses total.
Last night I learned all the basics. Recipes for the cake and frosting. How to hold the frosting bag and I made beautiful frosting star decorations on some sugar cookies. Not much for the first night, but next week I actually will be bringing home a cake that I decorate from start to finish. :) Super excited.
Daryl has been so supportive of my cake decorating classes. I know he wants me to be able to enjoy what I can out here in this small town, but I also think it's because I'll be able to make him delicious looking cakes. He'll even see something online and say.. "Oooo, you could make this into a cake!"
And. . I was going to take pictures of my cookies that I decorated so I could post them on here, but before I could get my camera . . . Daryl ate them!!! So, after next class, I will take a picture of the cake before he is even allowed to have a slice. :)
