So its official. I've become one of those stay at home moms/wives that take a Wilton cake decorating class.I remember my mother doing the very same thing and our birthday cakes were never the same again.
Well, we all know how Lauren's birthday cake turned out (see post). So we know the skills are lacking.
Anyway, I had my first class last night at Michael's Craft Store. I thought it was going to be learning basic techniques --- this is cake decorating, how hard can it be?
What they did not prepare me for was all the supplies I would need to purchase. I know Danny is thinking: "We better have the prettiest Christmas cookies this year!!" I am also overwhelmed that the truth is that this is no namby pamby sissy class. I am intimidated and overwhelmed by what we're expected to accomplish in this class. Who knew there were 3 kinds of icing: stiff, medium and thin. Who knew food coloring that is liquid is bad, but the gel colors won't make your icing bleed?
All I have to say is this, my pipe dream of decorating cakes professionally one day has been squashed. There is some serious work invovled in preparing and decorating a cake.
Somebody smack me when I start taking the "How to make Holiday table clothes" class or the "Perfect Easter Egg Decorating" class.
