Avast Ye Mateys!

Cake decorating class was Monday night and I was a total failure. After frosting our layers for class, I seemed to miss the "color your icing before class" instruction and came to class with white icing. Incredibly stiff white icing. Everyone had beautiful rainbows and I quickly made up some pink icing...at least it was seasonally appropriate! As a result...I had a lovely pink rainbow and decorated my cake for Valentine's Day.


My daughter, however, used her charms to lure another class member into sharing her purple icing, so her rainbow had a little more color. And writing? She, being a bit OCD and obsessed with all things Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Carribean at the moment decided to draw on her cake.
The teacher laughed. But she looked afraid. I hope she comes back on Monday to teach us how to make clowns. Or maybe not...clowns scare me...

LOL! As the say on the Runway "Make it work!" And that you did. "Carry on." ;-)

You decorated a REAL cake??? Lucky you. I took an entire semester in cake decorating and only got to decorate 1 real cake (the final) - the rest of the semester we practiced on forms, plastic disks, cardboard, roses on nails, painted chocolate on leaves, etc., etc. - but no cake eating. I was soooo disappointed! Love the look of your REAL cake with the rainbow. Can't wait to see what you do next week!

Cheers!

Looks like you both did a great job - but who could resist the pirate cake? It's darling *s*

How fun! Your cakes look great! Did you like doing the little stars? I've done cakes before where the whole cake is covered with stars -- makes your hands really tired LOL!
