I recently finished my first course in cake decorating. I must say, if you have any interest in baking, it's so much fun and absolutely worth trying. I still have a lot to learn (2 more classes in fact!), but even the basics have made cake baking/decorating so much easier and more fun! The first cake I made on my own (outside of class) was for the birthday of a little girl that I babysit. She was having a "Tangled" birthday party, so I made a cake that went with the theme. I found the idea for building the tower
here, and then built the cake/cupcakes around that. The second cake (top photo) I had seen on The Pioneer Woman's website and immediately fell in love with the simplicity and elegance of the design. My technique definitely needs some work, but I have a feeling I'll be trying it again sometime soon!
