I give you my very first attempt at cake decorating! I beg of you, dear reader, please forgive the crappy photos. I blame bad lighting and a shaky post-decorating-cramped hand.
I had Wilton Level 1 class 2 last night and it was a blast. We learned how to pipe stars, lines, some wavy borders and writing. I need to practice my writing more, but I really liked it. Of course, the writing was very easy when you're tracing a print, so we'll see how it goes free-handed. I didn't get to finish everything in class, so I rushed home to finish the cake before Alex got home. He loved it and I'm pretty dang proud of it. However, I did learn a few things:
1) Red icing SUCKS to make. It took me about 3 days to finally get the shade I wanted

2) Must. Wear. Glasses.
3) Red icing stains. Everything.
Here are some photos from class. If you've been thinking about taking the class, you totally should! I use my coupons for everything, so I don't pay full price on any of the supplies. My plan is to go through all 4 levels, all the way up to Gumpaste and Fondant...we'll see how that goes!
PS - For anyone who is wondering, the Wilton "Buttercream" recipe contains no actual butter. It's totally parve, so you could technically serve it with a parve cake.

Your cake looks awesome! The cake decorating class sounds amazing--I need to take one of those because my decorating skills certainly leave something (read: everything!) to be desired. Great job!
