A Star Is Born


Last night was my first cake decorating class. We learned how to make icing, change the consistency of our icing, how to make layers with our cakes, how to add filling in between the layers, and how to make stars. I didn't completely master the stars, but I did pretty decent for a first timer! If you look closely, you can see that each individual dot is a star. Kinda. :) Work with me here!

Anyways, those are my 6 sugar cookies that we decorated in class. I took a picture before carrying them home - just in case some were ruined in transit. Luckily, they all made it home safe and sound. I jumped around like a kid on a sugar high as hubs opened the container and examined my work! He then took a bite of one of the cookies and said that it tasted really good. Now, let it be known that he told me before I went to class that he hated sugar cookies. Well, I guess I proved him wrong on that - he loves my sugar cookies! ha!
Next week we're to bring a cake in to decorate. This should prove interesting...
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
