Not a Piece of Cake

I recently completed the Wilton Method Level One (Cake Basics) class at my local Michael's.  A few of my girlfriends from church convinced me to take it with them.  It was fun -- I often referred to my class sessions as "finger painting for adults" or "playing with my food" -- but it was definitely a lot of work.  I'm not much of a baker AT ALL, so preparing cupcakes or cakes and multiple batches of icing for the class was quite time-consuming for me.  We had a week between each session but of course I procrastinated -- who wants week-old cake?  I did have to plan ahead enough to borrow the necessary cake pans from a friend!

But, I learned a LOT in the class and had a good time socializing with the ladies in the class and playing with mixing colors, learning to create flowers, etc.  Here are a few pictures of my creations!

 

Like the cake says and the weather lately has proven: "Welcome, Spring!"
