I’m keeping my day job
02.14.08 (10:05 am)   [edit]
Last night I went to my cake decorating class. I am surprised by how fast paced everything is. I got to practice everything only once and then we were set free to decorate our cakes.

My cake was pretty ugly. I was going to put a rainbow on it but since I didn’t bother mixing colours in my icing, I used a white rainbow. This class is like a real class! I will have to practice what we went over, and then read ahead for next week’s class.

My instructor is dirty bird. LOVE IT! She’s hilarious. She’s this English lady who used to work in some bakery or factory in England. Now she makes custom cakes. Last night, we started learning how to make the base of roses. It looks like a beehive. She said, “you don’t want it looking like a penis!” And in regards to your base being too high – “you can always circumcise it!

Practice makes perfect! I'm sure the more cakes you decorate the better you'll get! Sounds like a fun class, though! I LOVE icing! MmmMmmMmm

I can't wait to practise more! I need to find a recipe for cheaper frosting though. I don't care even if it's something fake.
When I'm better I'll use more natural frostings, too. It's weird to be rinsing off stuff with frosting made from Crisco and not have it dissolve. Gross.

I'm always in awe of beautiful cakes, especially those 3-D ones. (I wonder if their taste matches their looks??)

She wanted beehives and not penises! But fat penises are fun, too!!

Do you get to eat all the cakes you decorate in class afterwards?

Oh, I'll be sure to give those cake updates! I took some pics of my first cake, and those will probably go onto my Flickr account this weekend :-)

I don't know if I'd want to eat my cakes...BWAHAHA They're made from a cake mix and the frosting seems kind of gross. But they're all edible! I'll probably try pawning everything off -- except the next batch. It'll be cupcakes made from scratch!!
