Shea's new Hobby

I am taking a cake decorating class with 2 friends and it is being taught by a friend as well. We are having WAY too much fun, sometimes causing us to not be as productive as we should; but always enjoying our time together and through all the laughter we somehow manage to learn and finish the evening with some pretty good results. Since the class is taught by our friend she has been "catering" to our...we'll mainly my pain in the butt request and demands. No, I don't wanna learn how to do ugly clowns...I want to skip to class 4 and do fondant! She is happy to oblige since we are having so much fun but sticks to her guns at the same time and makes us learn the basics as well. I never plan on doing a character cake so why do I care how to make a star...turns out I am not so bad with a star and ended up doing a whole bunch of cupcakes with it for Easter. Good thing she made me do it!

Let me say this...
This is not as easy as you think, there is way more involved with a pretty cake than just baking and icing it. Sparing you all the details of what goes into it I'll just say I give props to all the cake decorators out there and now I know why cakes are so dang expensive.

Roses (not too shabby)
