Hey!

I just finished taking Course 1 @ Michaels (Is that where you're taking it?)

The first class she pretty much tells you alllll the supplies ... I would say in total (including supplies to make the cake, frosting, etc) I probably spent about $100 on supplies... which I wasn't really thrilled with b/c the sheet said $25-$50.

I wouldn't recommend skipping to the 2nd course, unless you know how to make flowers already. The flowers were kinda difficult IMO.... the class is really fun.. I took it with a friend, so we just kinda laughed when we kept screwing up.

I think it works whether you're looking to be a serious cake decorator or you're just taking it for fun. The lady def helps you out and tries to get you to do it right, but I told her that I was just there having fun, so she kinda backed off and let me screw up lol

Hope you enjoy it!

oh im serious bout it lol

im taking it at michaels in manhasset ( i think?... gotta make sure ,cuz i went to sooo many stores and i kinda forgot which one i signed up in)

my coworker gave me 15 , 40% off coupons so hopefully it wont be that much.

YAY!!! Good luck!!

Not for the first class, but you have to bring a cake all the other weeks

One guy couldn't bring a cake b/c he rode his motorcycle there, so he brought like a round cake pan and did the decorating on the underside of it.. so if you don't want to bring a cake, there's ways around it

JMHO....

Once you take a class, you know if you have the knack or not. If you do, dont take any other class.... you can read books that give instructions or see pics and play on your own.

The classes to me were overrated.....

Ill run a class for free for 2010 girls

edited to say im not a vendor, im not advertising, please dont FM me asking to to provide a cake. please dont delete my account

honestly... im pretty amazing when it comes to food lol

i wanna learn how to make my own gum paste and fondant cuz im not happy with WIlton products. but i wanna learn the basics at least

Oh wilton stuff iMO is terrible!!!

There are much better fondants out there, ones that people eat. Also the buttercream is terrible. Again much better to buy and I have a good recipe if you want.

Don't eat everything before you actually start decorating the cakes.

Heifer!

I never expected you to want to learn how to make your own gum paste and fondant - I am very impressed!!!!!!!!!!

hey kris...


got a spoon??



ali , i know! its such a poor quality. for chocolate lolipops i tried to go cheap and buy the chocolates at michaels(wilton) with my 50% off coupon.. what a mistake!!!!! i threw soo many bags out.

id love the recipe

You don't need anything for the first class, they give you a list of stuff to bring to the next class. Buy LOTS LOTS LOTS of confectioners sugar for frosting.

You can definitely skip class 2, but class 3 is the fondant class and thats totally different. Thats an awesome class.

HTH and good luck barb!

lol barbara. ppl are shocked that im such a homemaker.... i guess cuz i look like a homewrecker 90% of the time lmaoo

HEW-WAH!!

I don't think you look like a homewrecker - I would love it though if you'd get rid of that crazy picture you have up - LOL

I love the food arts too. Just watched a food/art challenge last week on Food Network - It was really good!!!!!!
