Cake Decorating 101

So I just had my first "hands on" cake decorating class. It is a 4 week Wilton cake decorating course at Michael's Craft Store, and it is lots of fun. Today we practiced dots, stars, hearts, squiggles, and the "Wilton Rose". So here is my first cake attempt with a rainbow made of stars and some roses at the bottom. Admittedly my roses need work, but they are really hard!

The only downside to this class is that fact that I am on a diet, so though the cake looks oh so yummy, I can't eat any of it. To top that, Chris is away for the weekend so it is just me, the dog and the cake. Might need to chuck it before I give in to the dark side!

I love the cake and the fact you're taking a class. You're so cute!

Why don't you decorate a cardboard cake, save the temptation???!!!!

I don't know where I would find a cardboard cake, but I will definitely try to make arrangements this weekend for an event I can bring a cake to.
