This month Tiffani took a Cake Class at Michael's. She was excited about taking it until the first class... There were nine students plus the teacher in a little room and the person who sat next to her smelled like she just finished smoking before coming in. So she didn't have the most pleasant experience. All that aside, she did go back for the last 3 classes and did learn some things and did enjoy it. Although if she takes the next class she will go to JoAnn's because we've heard that their classroom is much bigger!
The first class they practiced making little stars and then decorated a cookie with the stars. Tiff did Bri's name and a few others but she wouldn't let me take pictures until we got home so I only got the one. They also learned how to make frosting.
Tiffani didn't want any pictures, again, but I took one from behind while she was working. :) That little table she's at, they put 4 people at to spread out and decorate! This night there was only 3. This 2nd class they learned how to frost a cake and then decorate with lines and dots (& elongated shapes).
I got a picture of Tiffani with her completed cake. I told her Grandma wanted to see it & her so she agreed since it was for Grandma! (A. Avy, will you make sure Grandma sees it, please.)
The 3rd class they had to bring 6 cupcakes. Then frost and decorate them with the flowers they learned - drop flower, rosettes, shells, pompom flowers and leaves. I loved her top middle cupcake - if it had been blue frosting it would've looked like cookie monster. :) And the leaves on the bottom right are amazing.

Before her last class we got out her left over frosting and practiced making the flowers that she had learned. I need more practice but it was fun to do!
The last class they had to bring a cake that was frosted and then they learned how to make the ribbon rose and then wrote on the cake and decorated it. Kinda ran out of time allowed in the classroom so she didn't get any leaves put around her roses. The cake looked pretty good. No pictures till we got home - mostly because I forgot the camera and couldn't sneak any pictures in of her making the roses.
