The Start to A Wonderful Journey

A few months ago I signed up for a beginners cake decorating class, because up until now I have had no training. My first class was last Monday and the instructor basically went over what we would need for the class and how to crumb coat and ice a cake. Just within our first class meeting I felt that I had learned some new tips that would change my life as a cake decorator!

For our second class we were to have a 2 layer filled, crumb coated, and iced. We were to also have prepared 4 different colored icings of medium consistency, and one cup of thick consistency icing. Once we got to class we were to begin decorating once the instructor showed us some of the techniques.

First we used piping gel to transfer the rainbow pattern onto the cake. Then e used tip #16 to make the stars which filled in the stripes of the rainbow, tip #21 to make the clouds. And tip #12 for the shell border. This is my cake!

I can't wait to learn how to make buttercream roses next week!
