Cake Classes

As I mentioned in my first blog, I have been taking cake decorating classes at a local cake supply company. I have taken Course 1 and Course 2 and they have been so much fun. I've been lucky enough to take them with my mom too, so it's been double the fun! I've learned proper icing of the cake, many different borders, and piping techniques, and lots of flowers. I think my favorite so far is the basket weave. I've also learned to work with royal icing, which is so much fun. Just wanted to post some of the fun we've had with the cakes!

Starting a Journey!

Hi! My name is Katie and over the years I've developed a love for all things baking. Some of my life-long friends find this funny, as years ago and through my teens I literally could not boil water. However, as I'm now well into my twenties, I've developed what some might consider an obsession with baking. I like to bake anything and absolutely love trying new recipes. My most recent goal has been to bake and decorate my son's first birthday cake. In preparation to obtain this goal, I've begun taking cake decorating classes and a local cake supply store. It's been so much fun and a great learning experience for me. This blog will serve as a fun way to chronicle my learnings and creations! Hoping to have some fun creations to post soon!
