Finger Licking Food: It’s Graduation Day!!

Not from school or college but from my Cake Decorating classes at Michael’s. As I had mentioned in my last post on the cakes decorated during these classes, we had one for this class too. It was a grand finish to a fun and knowledgeable course. We got certificates too!

Like all the previous classes, the first hour and forty minutes went in practicing what we are taught that day and also watching our instructor demonstrate few designs. She makes everything seem so easy…really! We learned to make roses out of icing, that was the highlight of the class. The last 20 minutes of the class, we are allowed to decorate our frosted cakes anyway we chose to.

We made Sweet Peas and Roses

Rose made with icing/frosting

I made the cake using the same recipe as last time. You can find the recipe here.

This time I decided to make layers, and used the frosting and grape jam alternately.

I'm sending this over to Bindiya for the event "My Favourite Things :Cakes & Muffins".

Course 1 was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to Course 2 which starts next Tuesday.
