My cake decorating class has officially come to a close.
Overall I’m super pleased with all that I learned. Sure, my cakes still need a little work, but I think in the 7 short weeks, my artistic skills have certainly improved!
Some of the key things I learned over the course of the class:
- Frosting flowers are extremely hard and mine look terrible. When I got my wedding cake years back, I really didn’t understand why frosting flowers cost more than real flowers. Now I get it.
- Cake decorating takes a long time, especailly for me. The final project was a wedding cake, and took about 10 hours. Granted I am a lot slower than anyone more experienced, but it still will take a chunk of time.
- I would be broke if I relied on creativity for a paycheck. I am much better at replicating pictures than coming up with any design ideas on my own. Thank you Pinterest. I would not have survived without you.
Here are a few of my creations over the last few weeks.
My friendly dinosaur made out of buttercream frosting and marshmallows. Isn’t he cute?!
My Doll Cake was one of my favorites. It was super fun to put together and there are so many creativity options between the dress and the doll you pick (it’s essentially half a Barbie).
