I completed my 5th and final beginner’s cake
decorating class this week.
Although this was not my favorite cake (clowns…I hate clowns) I really
learned a lot of valuable skills.
Using tootsie pops, we constructed the heads first and then
the bodies followed after. It is
amazing what you can do and it looks far more complicated than it actually
is. I can see using this method to
make many other things such as animals.
Implementing straws is an amazing way of making your characters come to
life, and edible things such as marshmallows help stabilize your creations so
you can really work in the 3rd dimension.
As the beginner’s class comes to a close I am looking
forward to the advanced class. We
will be learning all sorts of new things such as airbrushing, basket weave with
cascading flowers, transferring images on edible photo paper, royal icing
flowers, and much, much more. I
very much enjoy doing this and as with all things I enjoy, I am thirsty for
more knowledge. I wish the class would go on forever but maybe I will have some
cake orders soon and be able to do them from my home. Until then I will be busy
making Halloween costumes for the kids…blog coming soon!
