Class One~

Okay, so I had my first class. The teacher was very unorganized. She spent two hours demonstrating for us how to make three consistencies of frosting (Made with...gasp...shortening!) So that's how they get the frosting to stay put!

We learned how to seal in a filling so it doesn't seep out the sides, how to level a cake, how to assemble the "tools and tips" and then we watched her do a cake. Not a very good looking cake. After, she took us all out to the store to buy our supplies.

Next weeks list of what we need: bring in a frosted cake ready to decorate. I decided to try what I had today at home. I did not use the Wilton frosting, I cheated, but I was eager to try out my stuff. This is what I learned today in the process:

I was missing parts that I need

That it is not easy to level the darn cake, even with the tool

That is is MESSY

That I have LOTS to learn

Here are the pathetic pics...
