I'm taking the first in a series of 4 cake decorating classes from Michael's. This is the first cake that I have ever decorated before! Contrary to popular belief - culinary students don't learn how to decorate cakes...they save that for the pastry students!
In order to pick up and refine some much needed piping skills - I took advantage of the 50% off sale on Michael's cake decorating courses.
This cake is the result of my second class - we transferred an outline of the image using parchment or wax paper after marking it in clear piping gel. The piping gel can be rubbed on to the set cake frosting so that you have an outline of the image that you want to end up with. Apparently children's coloring books are a great reference for images to be piped on to cakes.
Of course - if you like to look at cake decorating mistakes...please check out http://www.cakewrecks.com/
Have fun!
