Cake Decorating ~ My First Cake

My mom and I are taking a cake decorating class at Michael's. The course is made up of 4 ~ 2 hour classes.

The reason I decided to take the class is that since I have a child with a severe allergy I figured it would be safest to make my own cakes. I actually think I'll really enjoy it. It'll be nice for my children to remember that I made all of their birthday cakes.

My first cake (see photo) was created today during our second class. I can now understand why cakes are so expensive to purchase. The supplies to make them are not cheap and it does take a bit of time to get it just right. For instance this cake (which is not just right in all places:) took me a total of 2 hours. If I were to make it again I could probably shave of a bit of time but it would still take a while.

I will continue to post my masterpieces as they are created.

  1. Hey Jamie,

    What an awesome job you did with that cake! You sure you're new to this?! :-)

    Just curious: do you know if Michael's cake decorating classes are for adults only? I would love to take this class along with my daughter (she's 11).

    Can't wait to see your next cake!

    Anita :-)
