Wilton cake decorating class I

So these were my first meager attempts at cake decorating - the Wilton way...


We started by practicing piping on cookies.

Then our first cake...it is a LOT of work smoothing buttercream to look like fondant...

Donating my cake to Ronald McDonald House

Practicing decorating techniques on cupcakes.


Final cake for class I.


Baby cake for Tim and Katey's new little baby girl Molly.  She was born only 2 weeks before Ben came!
It was my first creation, shoes and all.  The cake was iced with buttercream and decorations were made from fondant and gumpaste.

My very first blog.



I am about to embark on a journey of sharing with you my successes and failures as a sugar artist.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.  Feeding Albert some of the cupcakes I made in my first Wilton cake decorating course. 


At one year old I already had my finger in the cake



My mom did a very good job with my cakes and this was taken on my fourth birthday.
