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.
