| Cake Decorating? This is going to sound a little different, but trust me, we're having fun. My 22-year-old son and I are learning how to decorate cakes together this summer. He's preparing to get his own apartment this fall and move out of our house. Part of that process is learning how to cook. (That's been VERY interesting, let me tell you.) He has been watching the cooking channel and started seeing all of the cake challenges, and wanted to try it. Well, we're having a blast! And the best part is that we can eat our mistakes. We're also thinking about taking the Wilton courses together this summer while I'm out of school. We are keeping a photo log of our progress, and it's been hilarious so far. I need to download the photos from the camera sometime today. In the meantime, do you decorate your own cakes? Have you had fun with it? Do you have photos or tips to share? In particular, tips on how to save money doing this? Some of this stuff is expensive. Fun, but expensive.

| I would LOVE to learn how to decorate cakes!! I love watching Cake Boss!! Sadly I am not very artistic when it comes to things like that. I LOVE to scrapbook and I love photography but don't do well sewing and I venture to guess that cake decorating wouldn't be very pretty. I would love to take a class though. My friend and I were just talking about this. |

| If you like scrapbooking, you might really like decorating with fondant. It's basically like rolling out dough and cutting out shapes. Google "fondant" and see what you think. I tried once before and struggled with the tips and such, but the fondant is a whole new world!

| i LOVE LOVE LOVE the taste of fondant!! its soo yummy!! However, I am the person behind the phrase "She can burn water". I try not to cook...its not good! Its funny cause when people find out i'm Italian..they automatically assume i'm an awesome cook. And when they find out i cant....theres a look of shock on their face LoL . Thats what happens when parents spoil you rotten...hek, i didnt even make my bed til i was married at 23

I guess that's one reason I'm determined that my son goes into the world with at least a clue or two. He now even knows about thread count in sheets, which I didn't learn until I was 30 something! lol

| Judy if y'all can the wilton class do it...you will LOVE it. I want to go to their school SO bad, can't afford it or leve the kids to do it. I can pipe and star tip...sometimes it looks GREAT sometimes I wouldn't even let my Mama see it! Once you get your tip collection that will help with cost. Get a recipe for your own frosting and make a bunch, firmer for what you will decorate with. I worked in a bakery, but they never trained me for anything other than shell borders and streamers but, they would grap wax paper to use or plastic bags and cut it for the cupling and tip at the bottom. Have Fun, Angie |

| Oh I bet you are having so much fun! My adult son has taken an interest in cooking as well. He has purchased many of Gordon Ramsey's cook books (from the show hells kitchen) And I have to say the food that he prepares is so good. It puts my cooking to shame! Infact I had 12 friends over for Bunko last month and he cooked and served all of us and the food was amazing! The ladies all wanted to know if he was for hire! Tell your son to go for it and have a great time! |

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Hi Judy I took a Wilton class and it was fun..learning how to make roses..hahaha. I also have the complete Martha Stewart frosting tips in a cool case. I don't bake as much as I'd like to now that my son moved out years ago to attend school and live...but I love to bake and always bake from scratch..most times. I have a killer red devils food cake handed down from my grandmother. True..so much fun to eat the mistakes. Have fun in class!

Thor's Human Donating Member | LilMissy is an amazing cake decorater. Check out her website (I'm pretty sure it's in her sig). Her blog was featured in a magazine. It's not all about cakes, but a lot of it is.
