My Creative Sparks: Cake Decorating Fun!

Its been an interest of mine to learn cake decorating.. but truth be told, I am not a baker! All my attempts at cooking and baking are inspired by my close friend Emma, who is a "domestic goddess" !! From keeping a nice and well organized home, to gardening, to cooking and baking - and even sewing - she has that talent and creativity and passion!!

So, in the middle of winter, we both decided ~ lets take some cake decorating lessons! On we go, hand in hand... I tell you it really makes a lot of difference having someone with you ~ the classes are so much more fun - you egg each other on - I get so much encouragement even when my rose looked like a chopped pinecone than a flower... you also get to borrow from each other things that you forgot to bring to class and you kinda have someone to be excited about it with you!

After our 1st round of lessons - which is Cake decorating basics, this was my final cake -

From afar, it really looks quite cute... the flowers at the bottom are my cabbage-looking roses! Obviously needing more practice..

Next set of lessons were about flowers and cake design... we were taught how to pipe different kinds of flowers, my favorite are the apple blossoms and made like thousands of them! We also practiced on roses (mine looked like pinecones..), violets, lilies, and more...

This was the cake I designed and decorated for my last class!
