So I have decided to try out a new hobby... Cake decorating! I've never really done any cake decorating before so I may be completely terrible at it but I think it could be fun. I saw an advertisement online a couple of weeks ago for the classes that are being offered through the Michael's craft store in town. They are the official Wilton cake decorating classes so at the end, everyone gets a completion certificate that can actually be used to get jobs in bakeries. Not that I want to go get a job in a bakery. I just think that it would be fun to be able to make and decorate cakes on a professional level. There are four classes. Each one meets once a week for four weeks. Right now I am just enrolled in the first two courses. I'm not sure that you are really supposed to take two classes simultaneously since after doing some research I realized that they sort of build on top of each other but we'll see if I can survive. I am very excited about starting the classes next week though I am not sure what I'll do with all of that cake I will be making and decorating. I don't even like cake... I guess I'll be giving it away to everyone I know. And probably sending them to work with my hubby too.
I was pleasantly surprised with the financial aspect of taking the classes. The tuition for the classes that I am taking is just $20. Of course that price probably varies from location to location and I will still have to buy the class kit and a few other supplies as well as the ingredients for the cakes that I will be making but it doesn't seem to be unmanageable. The kit is about $40 but I have been told that they are often on sale for $20. Plus there are often coupons that make a pretty significant difference so that makes it a lot better. I will be posting about my experiences with the Wilton's cake decorating classes throughout the month of June (and possibly longer if I decide to take the other two courses) so if it is something that you may be interested in doing yourself sometime, stay tuned for my review of the classes. I'll be sure to post pictures of my creations as well. Even if they are flops. :)
