Wilton Cake Decorating Class - Week 3

For the third week of the class, the instructions were to bring a cake or eight cupcakes. I brought the cupcakes because they were easier to frost. During this class, we learned how to make shell borders, sweet pea flowers, figure piping, and drop flowers. Since my frosting was a little thinner, it was easier for me to make these on the practice board.

I'm glad I made cupcakes, although I was the only one in class. It was much easier to decorate these cupcakes, and I could try different decorations with each one. Again, these went quickly at work. A co-worker said they reminded him of Easter or baby shower colors.

We were throwing a surprise baby shower for our co-worker the following week. As it was also a potluck, the manager asked me if I could make cupcakes in lieu of the cake. I guess practice makes perfect!
