So we had a cake decorating enrichment at our house tonight. It was so fun 11 girls showed up. We practiced some tip work: writing, stars, shell boarders, drop flowers, and twisted flowers. We even attempted roses. It was so fun to see these girls do this. then we frosted our own cupcakes to eat and show of our new learned skills.

We then talked about how to frost a shaped cake and how it can be done. For those who weren't there or a review... the best way is to Crisco the pan, then flour(dust), and then line it with wax paper. That way you insure that the cake will come out of the pan. Once it is baked (as normal) let it cool for 10-15 minutes the flip it out to completely cool. Then you can cut it into the shape you want or just leave it as is. When it comes time to frost it the key making it look pretty is to do a crumb coat first. Which is just a light coat of frosting all around the cake (sloppy is great) this is to hold all the crumbs in this layer. Then let that frosting sit for a bit to harden up a bit. Then add the real layer nice an smooth-crumb free. Then decorate a way and you have a prefect cake.

Thank you all for coming and i missed all of you who weren't able to come, maybe another time. I really enjoyed our time together. Any time you need help or a cake just let me know!!!
