Cake Decorating

Tonight I went to my friend Tanya's house where she was teaching a Cake Decorating 101 class for us. We all brought our own baked cake and she provided the rest. It was AMAZING!! I had so much fun!

She taught us how to level cakes, do a crumb coating, mix colors, uses different tips, etc. We got to practice with different tips on cupcakes, the clown cake, and the clown hat cake, before making our own cakes.

We are going to use the 2 clown cakes that we practiced on for a birthday celebration at the park for PALS.

Here is MY cake!! I have decorated cakes before, but it's been are REALLY long time, I was very surprised at how easily it came back to me. I loved how the clouds came out. I think Lyssy is going to be so surprised when she wakes up in the morning to find a rainbow cake sitting on the table!

Heather made this cute baseball cake.

Amy did an AWESOME job making this football cake.

Angela's flower cake looks super groovey!

Tammy's Pooh cake is so cute.

Christina's pirate cake is SO STINKIN cute!!

And I love Karen's monster cake!

There were about 5 other cakes that I missed, but they were all super cute too! I loved seeing everyone's creativity in this! I really hope that this inspires me to make my own cake more often! Thank you Tayna for such an awesome night!

Your rainbow cake looks so cool! I've wanted to take the cake classes for quite some time myself. I hope you really enjoy it. It is soooooo much fun making your kids' cakes--do you usually make them? I made my 4 year olds snake birthday cake this year--it was my first attempt at ever trying a cake:-)--lots of fun--can't wait to make my daughter's in a few weeks too! Look forward to seeing all that you make!!

I have always made a special cake for my kids on thier birthdays. I am in no way good at it but, I have fun and they like it. This yr I made my first cake using fondant. It came out ok. Everyone said they prefer plain old frosting though.
