I can't decide whether to make cupcakes or a bigger cake. How would we decorate the cupcakes with the swirl technique we are going to learn? I've been trying to decide who to pawn the next cake off on! My SIL wants me to make a Diego cake for my neice next month....I hope I can get real good, real fast!
Re: ~*~Susan~*~
Ooo...the Diego cake sounds cool! You could probably get a coloring book pic of him and then use the piping gel transfer technique like we did with the rainbow and just fill him in with stars.
Maybe if we do the cupcakes we'll try one technique on each one. Idk if we're doing the shells, figures, and drop flowers all on our cakes or if some are just on practice boards. I'm thinking the shells and flowers are on the boards and we're just doing figures on the cake/cupcakes. I want to do cupcakes, but I only have enough tins for 18 and the cake mix makes 24, so idk...i'm not sure if the batter would get bad if i left some of it sitting until 6 got done. Or I guess i could just waste it and dump it out, but i'd feel bad doing that.
I'm making red velvet cake for next week. What flavor are you doing? Oh, and did you finish your rainbow cake? I put pics of mine on facebook. The clouds and writing actually turned out pretty good. I was very excited, and the ladies at work thought it was good. One of them has actually taken all the courses, so she showed me the pics of her cakes. : )
I wonder if course 3 is in september? If it is, I definately want to take it so we can do them all back to back and get really good at this. Are you busy this Sunday? If not, we should practice our writing and roses.
Oh yeah, we are going to the campground on sunday because the whole family will be there.
On my rainbow cake I made it a pretend b-day cake for my cat, Moe
Ok, so I have pregnancy brain....
I also wanted to tell you that I put a pic in my blog!
Ugh, that girl is stupid I dont like her. Why is she in the beginner class? I tried not to even look at her.
Jeff said everyone at work asked who Moe was! His birthday is actually in November, but I needed to make it for someone! Its kind of neat, Moe and the baby have Nov. b-days, Jeff and I have July B-days.
