My Guilty Little Secret

Have I mentioned how I've been spending my Tuesday evenings recently? No? Well I was ashamed to admit it at first, guess I wanted to see how things panned out first before I showed the evidence to anyone but now its here in all its glory.

Yep. I've been going to a cake decorating class! Not the world's most beautiful creation, I'll give you that but now that the creation is complete I'm as pleased as punch with it.

The carnations are my favourite. That's why there are sooooooooo many photo's of them!

This creation took is six weeks, learning a new technique every week. None of us are particularly fond of the Garrett frill around the sides. We all decided that it made the cakes look like a pair of Grandma's pantaloons!

Tomorrow night sees us all embark on another course, seven weeks long this time. We'll be decorating another cake with some more traditional techniques and learning some new modelling ones too.

For the time being though, this little baby is sitting pretty on our sideboard ... nobody is allowed near it with a knife!
