An abundance of cake...

My poor co-workers...I don't think they've had to eat so much cake before. I had been taking a Wilton brand cake decorating class (Class 1) from the craft store down the street and ended up making a cake a week for 3 weeks straight. It was a four week class, but the first class doesn't count since you just show up with no cake, just a pen and pencil.

It was a good experience, though stressful at times trying to get all your icings in all the required textures and in all the colors you want for your cakes. That was probably the hardest thing to organize. I had to leave work early twice to get it all done! *sigh*, not acceptable. If you take the classes people, don't be like me, the procrastinator! All your cakes can be made and frozen ahead of time and the icings last more than a couple weeks in your fridge so there's no reason to stress out like I did if you do your homework like you're supposed to. Anywhoo - here's the results of my class. :)

Results of 2nd Week: (6" round, Hello-Kitty character cake created using a trace-transfer, filled with a bunch of stars and dots and a really ugly simple piping along the bottom border...I got tired)
