Cake Decorating!

My sis-in-laws (Sara and Amanda) and I decided to sign up for a Wilton cake decorating class. We all love to bake/eat cake. Last night was week 2 of our cake decorating course, but it was our first class to actually use icing and put it to use. We each brought in a round iced cake, and we were to "follow" an example in the book of a primary colored rainbow.

The first hour we practiced a rose, writing (which is MUCH harder than I thought it would be), stars, dots, etc.

Our cakes! You will notice we all had a hard time getting primary colors for the rainbow. I felt like I added half of my "Christmas Red" food coloring tube and ended up with a beautiful hot pink. If you have any tips, PLEASE share!

Cake up close - a little rough, but I learned a lot!

We left class on a sugar high and with achy hands, but are ready for class #3. We were told to bring 8 iced cupcakes for next week. My coworkers are either going to LOVE me or HATE me by the end of my Wilton classes - they get to enjoy all of my masterpieces:)
