Sugar High, Course One

Chicklet #1 and I just completed our first cake course and had a ball. This course was a Christmas present from her Papa and she has absolutely loved every min. of it. We learned how to make icing, write on cakes, different drop flowers, clowns and roses. I have to say that I have a greater appreciation for all the ladies who can make all of the gorgeous roses on wedding cakes, because they are hard to make.

Here is her Clown. It is hard to tell what it looks like with all of the parts being the same color but it is too cute. Here she is learning how to make the first part of the rose. This is her first completed rose. Eating the rose after we made it, made me think about all the times when I was younger and Aunt Julia and I would go to Harvey’s just to get icing roses to eat. Oh the fond sugar induced memories. We made cupcakes during the 3rd class to take home. For the last class we made cakes that we decorated with some of the techniques that we learned and this is our results. I would have had better pictures of them and pictures from the class itself but Chicklet #2 got a hold of the camera and accidently deleted all them. Please ignore the fact that the cakes are half eaten. That is a testament to how good they are.This is Chicklet #1’s creation. She had to have blue roses. They turned out really pretty.  This is my creation. I just love yellow roses. We start on the next course of the class this Saturday.

Martha Stewart look out. Here we come!
