Sugar and Spice and More Sugar


Here it is. My latest creation. I know its not quite complete but I couldn't get a picture before Kaden was ready to devour the special treat I had created for our family.

Jessica and I are taking the Wilton Cake Decorating Classes at Michaels. It was our birthday gift from her mom. No you didn't miss my special day, but Carol-Lynn wanted Jessica and I to be able to take the classes together so she gave me my birthday gift a few months early.

Last night was our first practicing night, which meant we actually did something rather than just listening to someone tell us about frostings and tools.

So far, it has been fun. I'm just slightly worried about making a cake with tons of frosting each week. Yesterday I made 7 cups of Buttercreme frosting for the class. I don't think it will bode well for the weight loss I'm trying to accomplish.

If anyone is interested there will be cake at my house for the next few weeks. Feel free to stop by and sample some of my talent.

So cute! You're doing a great job, although all that frosting might be treacherous for the waistline. I love making cakes for my kids. Maybe you can give me a tutorial after you're done.

Buttercream frosting is the best! You did a great job! I'm inspired and hope to one day be able to decorate cakes for my kids, instead of relying on Desserts by Kelly.

Cute cake! I took a cake decorating class a few years ago and it was so much fun. The hardest part for me was baking the cake so it came out even! Good job!

My sister in law took the Wilton decorating class and loved it. I will gladly stop by and take some cake off of your talented hands!

Cute cake. I also would love to learn to decorate cakes, so far, all of my attempts have been disasterous!

Heather, the cake is totally cute. I've been wanting to take one of those classes, too.

i'm so envious! I was just thinking last week how much I would love to take a cake decorating class. I know it would be something I would thoroughly enjoy. It looks like you have learned alot, the cake is adorable. I will gladly take any cake off your hands.
