Well that’s enough of THAT for a bit
It’s my last night of cake class tomorrow night and I’m glad. It’s been fun, but oh my god, you guys. I am so sick of freaking buttercream icing, I can’t even tell you.

Oh yeah, this is totally my backup career plan for if the whole accounting thing falls through.
The Most Beautiful Cake in the Universe
So tonight we actually got to decorate our cakes. And I’m just going to save you the suspense right now and let you know that my cake was totally the best one.
Not that it’s a competition.
Here’s my “before” cake. I went with the classic seven-layer cake-raspberry jam-cake-icing-cake-raspberry jam-cake format. Turns out I can’t cut cake layers level to save my life, but you know what? I’m pretty sure the people who are going to be eating it won’t care.
And then, the after:
Look at those colours, will you? Am I not the freaking Titian of icing? (You don’t have to answer that. I know I am.)
I’m Not Sure Why I Didn’t See This Coming
Recently I was thinking that it was time for me to learn something new. Because that’s always a good idea. At the same time, it’s summer. Also, I have a full-time job. So I wasn’t really up for anything too school-ey.
So after a minimal amount of research, I found out that Michaels craft store does a cake decorating course. It sounded like a fun way to learn something new without the pressure of exams or papers. It’s not an expensive course, and since it has always been my dream to cover the world in icing roses*, I roped in a couple of ladies from work and signed right up.
Yes, the class is cheap, but you have to buy a lot of stuff, which is kind of expensive. It’s something of a racket, really. This stuff here? Tip of the iceberg.
