Hello Everyone,
Good Morning it's TGIF. Last night I took my second cake decorating class. Of course you know I love Cupcakes!!!
This is my first attempt at decorating a cake with decorating TIPS. I love them.
The class is offered at Michaels Craft Store and we are using the Wilton Lesson Plan.
'Decorating Basics'
The icing is a class Butter cream Icing.
I transferred the cupcake pattern to the cake top using piping gel. Then I used a tip 12 and yellow icing for the cupcake.
Using a tip 3 and yellow icing to pipe curving lines on the baking cup. I used tip 12 and white icing to pipe swirls on the cupcake top. Using a tip 12 and pink icing to pipe the decoration on the top of the cupcake. The bead bottom I used tip 12 and white icing.
The directions recommend confetti sprinkles to top of cupcake and sides of cake, but I used up the remaining frosting. ~ THRIFTY ME~
I'm so happy I finally took this class. The decorating tools are so important and to have a someone personally show me the decorating techniques is awesome. I am a very visual person. As you can see by the way I blog.
Life is good today...
I joining some great parties. Please link back to them for more eye candy.
