Wilton Cake Baking Classes

I'm going to use this as an easy way to keep all of my cake pictures and share them with people who have said they want to see them.

I started taking the Wilton cake decorating Course 1 at Michaels on Monday, August 3. The first class was just an introduction to the tools we would be using (and needed to purchase) and a quick overview on how to level, tort, and fill a cake, along with how to ice it while trying to get the icing as smooth as possible.

One thing I learned was that if you sign up for the Michaels weekly email, you get a 50% off coupon that you can print off as many times as you want. It does expire though, so you may have to sign up another email address to get a new one. Let's just say that Michael Stratford (who apparently lives on the street next to ours) and Jessica Jones (who apparently lives on my parent's street in a made up number house) signed up for the newsletter. Of course the coupon is only good for one item at a time, so I think I visited all 3 Michaels locations near my house and work at least 3 times each over the last week. But I think I'm all set for supplies now.
