It was like a demo class where the teacher tells us step by step what we should do and how to do it and we watch. The teacher gave us a paper with some recipes and a step by step on how to decorate the cookies. I am amazed with all the beautiful things that can be created with some simple ingredients. I will be trying one of the cookie recipes this week and decorate them with fondant. I will upload pics and lets see hopefully they will look good and taste great. Happy baking everyone.

Wow it was just amazing. I learned how to cover a cake with fondant. I learned how to make three kinds of flowers and different details for a great final look. I tought working with fondant was harder but i have a great teacher and she gave us some great tips. I cant wait to make my first fondant cake. I am supposed to make my own desing for next class but i am just clueless. There are a lot of amazing ideas all over but i cant decide what i want to do yet.

Five years ago I got a degree on culinary arts. I worked as a cook for 4 years. Last year my beautiful baby boy was born so i decided to become a SAHM. I always had a passion for cooking and baking. And I always wanted to learn how to decorate beautiful cakes. A couple of months ago i decided that I wanted to learn how to decorate amazing cakes for my kids and my family. Just recently i started my classes and I have learned a lot. Its a small course but its great. Also i spend my spare time on the web watching online tutorials and videos on different techniques. I want to learn how to work with fondant and modeling chocolate. And hopefully turn my hubby into a profitable business.
