This isn't the most beautiful cake in the world, but I guess it's a start for my first one EVER!! So, me and my BFF Jill finally got all our ducks in a row and took a Wilton Cake Decorating class together this month. We have been wanting to do this for quite awhile now and our schedules FINALLY agreed with each other so that we could work it out. Anyway, it was the Basic Decorating Course so we didn't learn too many fancy things, but enough to get started. We had a BLAST, and of course with Jill and her amazing sense of humor, the classes were always full of life and laughs!! This cake was what we did in our last class and it was our final project. We even recieved a certificate for finishing the course! Cool huh?We had a lot of fun people in our class and they all took Jill's teasing rather well if you ask me. There was a gentleman in our class that was taking it with his wife and daughter and he was amazing! Jill and her need of having to nickname everyone came up with the name of "Jesse Cupcake" for this guy and it was perfect! It all started with her telling him that he was like "the Jesse James of cake decorating". Even funnier about the whole thing is that his name is actually "James". So in a way it kind of fit, right? Jill was insistent that she get some pictures of him so she could blog about the whole thing, which he was truly a great sport about! Our last class was yesterday and Jill and I got together and plotted with one another to make Mr. Cupcake a T-shirt so he would have some memorabilia of how much fun our class was!! I made the shirt using my new piece of equipment called a YUDU machine. LOVE IT!!
This is the "One and Only" Jesse Cupcake!! Doesn't really look the cake decorating type now does he? More like a biker dude if you ask me! Well, looks can be deceiving because he was amazing and for more pictures and a way better version of the story go to Jill's Blog . Her Blog is one in a million, and hilarious to boot!! Her version of our experience is way funny! A must read if you would like a good laugh for the day. Actually all of her posts are worth reading!! So seriously, go check it out. You will love it! I am already signed up for the next Wilton Course "Flowers and Cakes" and I am so excited to learn some of the funner and prettier part of cake decorating. There are three courses and I will be making it a priority to take them ALL! Because I will be danged if I am going to spend $500-$600 on NINE wedding cakes. Yep, that's the plan!! I will be taking it upon myself to make all of our girl's wedding cakes, whether they like it or not! Fun times, fun times!!
