Now that takes the cake!

I have been taking cake decorating classes for the last couple of months so I can make all of my yummy cakes and cupcakes looks as good as they taste.  I have completed my classes now!  YAY!  It was a lot of fun and it was surprisingly much easier than I thought it would be.  My instructor told me I should take the classes to become a Wilton teacher but I think I'm busy enough right now.  Here is the final cake for my first class:


I didn't mean for the roses to be such a fluorescent pink but that is apparently what the rose pink is...good to know.  Roses were the only thing I had to learn in the first class because I already knew most of the basics but I really wanted to learn roses so it turned out good.
And here is my final cake from my last class:


It was a lot of fun to learn how to make all of the different flowers and all the different decorating techniques.  I learned a lot more in the second class!  I worked with fondant, gum paste, royal icing and buttercream.  Now if I could just talk my hubby into letting me open a cakery I'd be set (but I don't think that will ever happen).  If you want me to make you a cake or want me to teach you how to do some of this just let me know!
