Wilton Cake Class... We have homework?!

As mentioned in the "Blondies... or brownies?" post, myself, my Mom, my future sister-in-law and my future mother-in-law are all taking the Wilton Cake I
class on Wednesday nights during the month of May. We really enjoyed the class but really didn't realize that we would have homework each week! To really expand upon our bonding time together, we decided to get together this past Sunday and ice our cakes for our class on Wednesday night... here are some shots of our crazy icing party.

PS: homemade buttercream icing = TO DIE FOR

Here is Jenn (my FSIL & Matron of Honor!) using this fantastic little contraption called a cake leveler to slice through her cake to be able to fill the center with frosting! PS: If you want a great trick to avoid getting the hump in the top of your cake... let me know! It works like a dream!

And here is my Mom icing her cake a lovely shade of purple!

And here is Miss Bette (aka my FMIL) icing her cake white... because she said she isn't a "show off" who needs to dye her icing. I think she is just jealous!

Jenn was having some difficulties with icing hers... she was a little too rough with it. She needed an icing lesson from her Mom!

Here is my cake pre-smoothing... also, I have some great tricks for smoothing too!

My Mom & my cakes after smoothing... now they will wait to be decorated at class on Wednesday night!

And did I mention that Jenn's hubby & Mr. Tana-Licious were at Jenn's house too? Do you think they were cake creating? Oh no... they were hard at work...

  2. Cute post! I've always wanted to take that class, but haven't been able to bc of my work sked. I'm hoping I can get into one at the local community college at some point.

    And hope you share those smoothing tips one day!

    Thanks for the link, by the way. I'm just now getting around to visiting - I've been out of commission for awhile because of the baby on the way!

    Congrats on your engagement!
