Let Them Eat Cake

I recently took cake decorating classes as the suggestion of my sister. It has been something I’ve always wanted to do since I found my great-grandmothers supplies as a teenager but I could never convince my mom to teach me. I took the four classes and absolutely loved it. My mother even let me inherit my great-grandmothers old cake decorating books, cake pans, and tips. She was so good she did wedding cakes! It’s neat to share something with my great-grandmother and have something of hers (she died when I was 4). I especially enjoy sharing a hobby with her because I have been told in the past she and I were alike. Wish she were here so I could make cakes with her but for now I can think about her every time I use her things.

Here is a small sampling of my first few cakes. They are not great but I loved doing it!



My first cake I make in class in 15 minutes

I make this the following day for practice

Flower practice (most of these are supposed to be done in royal icing.



I loved making this cake! It tasted good to, pinterest, margarita cake with coconut icing.



My first fondant and first tiered cake.

I learned how to make fancy flowers, vines, etc. This was my favorite.
