I'm a Wilton Graduate!

I decided to take a Wilton Cake Decorating class (Level 1 of course!) since my decorating skills do not exist whatsoever. I had tons of fun an learned so much. Though I'm not ready to make a 4 tier wedding cake yet, the first step was taken. After 4 classes where they teach you how to frost, pipe, decorate and tempt you to buy a few dozen gadgets, I had to decorate my own cake as a final project. The cake didn't come easy (as usual!); after a couple of hours baking in horrendous heat and humidity, I had to scrap my homemade cake and rely on good ol' Betty Crocker.

Well this is the progression:

Class1: the basics and some piping practice.

Class2: Frosting a cake

Class3: Decorating cupcakes

Class4: Creating a cake!! I'm kinda proud...

And my nephew didn't mind all that baking at all
