Wanted to post some pics of the cakes I have made so far. Dan gave me a cake decorating class certificate in February and I started that 6 week class in April. I had so much fun and was happy to learn some new "tricks." Here they are in order...
First cake made was for my sister's b-day.
Design transfer cake...donated to the Family Fun Fest at school, during which there is a cake walk. How fitting!
This was not part of the cake assignment for the class, but I did make this cake for Dan's b-day. Go Colts!
Not a huge fan of clowns, but week 5 was learning how to make them. They were kind of fun!
We celebrated early for my nephew, Matthew's, b-day while he and his fam were in town for Memorial Day. I'm sure he would have gone for a Star Wars themed cake instead, but he was a grateful recipient anyhow.
The last class was learning how to do the basket weave cake. My weave does not look the greatest mostly because I was rushed and I had the wrong tip. That would be my only complaint about the class...I felt rushed. But then again, I can be a bit of a perfectionist in certain areas. I was the last one to leave the class every single week. But I was also enjoying my "free time."
And this cake had nothing to do with the class either. Just felt like practicing. I made this sheet cake as an appreciation to the VBS workers. Our theme was kind of a western one so this was my attempt at a bandanna pattern. I do need to work on my lettering, that's for sure. And that's all for now!

They look great. I agree, not a big clown fan either. The basket weave and flowers are what I want to learn.
Thanks, Heather! Started learing flowers week 1 and we worked again with them and other borders throughout the rest of the weeks. the flowers are surprising not as difficult as I thought they would be. Took my class at Cake Craft in Beavercreek...hoping to take another soon.
Gwen, I LOVE the bandana cake. Very fun!! I need to email you today. Sorry I didn't get right back with you.
