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,

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!
