It's Cake Decorating Tuesday. Last night I put my cake in the oven then ventured to the sewing room to work on other projects. BAD IDEA. I became absorbed in sewing, feeding Bets and putting her to bed and didn't start making frosting until 9:15 last night. Lesson learned, make the cake over the weekend, make the frosting Sunday night. We're practicing stars and writing in class tonight. I originally planed to make a cake in the Wilton book but After mixing five different frosting colors I gave up. We'll see what I come up with this evening.
Since I go straight to cake decorating class I had to bring my supplies (cake decor kit, tote bag full of supplies, frosted cake, seven tupperware containers of frosting, kitchen sink) to work with me. And I wimped out: if I had made two more colors I would be able to make the cake recommended in the Wilton book. What's that sweet smell drifting out my office door you ask? The cake and seven containers of frosting!
I can't wait to get decorating :)
Did you bring your food coloring along? You could still probably make more colors when you get to class from some of your white frosting. I never once used the amount they said in the book. It's like an overestimate on almost everything.
ReplyDeleteMaking all that frosting blows doesn't it? That's definitely my least favorite part!
I did bring my colors!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can throw some yellow together in class, or bum some of another student :)
