Wilton who?

One of the many reason's AC Moore and Michael's Crafts are two of my loves is because of all of the fun things that they have. My mom and I were in the store picking up some odds and ends and on a whim signed up for a Wilton cake decorating class. We bought all of our supplies and were ready for class the following week. Unknowingly I think my sweet tooth may have inevitably been cured within the first class when I learned that buttercream icing has, not one but TWO cups of crisco.
                                                Heart attack alert!!


Rule #1) Do NOT eat your mistakes (no, no, no)

Rule #2) It's just cake. Don't take it so seriously.

Rule #3) Over thinking causes mistakes. Go with the flow.

Oh, hello stars on a practice board using tip 18. They are a little messy with peaks and all that junk because the icing was not stiff enough (too much water, oops).

I wish I had gotten a picture of my mom's practice board or even took a glance at it. I was just so enthralled in my own work I forgot she was there. Until next time.

Sweetish,

Julie

  1. I thought the same thing the first time I made buttercream from scratch! My husband heard an audible gasp coming from the kitchen when I was reading the recipe. Cream cheese frosting isn't much better. So great to find your blog through twitter!
