Cake Decorating Class 1: Cookies

     Tuesday I started a basic cake decorating class at AC Moore in South Portland.  The first class was a lot of lecture and listening in preparation for the next class, when we will actually decorate a cake.  We talked about how to mix and cook a level cake and how to prep it for frosting.  Then we looked at frosting recipes and how to get it to the right consistency for decorating.  My homework for today is to bake a cake, and prepare two consistencies of frosting for the next class.   

     During the last half of the class we learned how to prepare a bag of frosting  and we practiced making a star shape.  For this class though, we had to use canned frosting, so the cookies really did not taste very good.  My finished product (a little boring without color).  I am looking forward to the next class and hopefully incorporating a little color!
