My Hands Are So Lardy!!

We thought a Wilton Cake Decorating class would be a fun activity for two huckleberry friends. It turns out this class is not a piece of cake!

First of all, the first class was HI-larious. We were lectured on the intricacies of cake making and frosting. We weren't aware we couldn't use Duncan Hines tub of frosting from the grocery store. Also, we were subjected to the glares of a lovely classmate. Sheesh. Not everyone can be so serious about cake decorating.

Anywho, after being slightly traumatized in the first class, we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and began the cake decorating adventure!
Step 1: Make a cake. HINT: do not make one cake in two 9 inch pans. They are TOO skinny. You have to use two cake layers. Our anorexic cakes STILL had a dome that we had to slice off, sorry Marie (Cake Instructor, we love her).

Step 2: Make frosting. AKA Lard + Sugar. All those who currently eat cake frosting: be forewarned. It is repulsive and is made out of vegetable shortening and pounds of sugar. Also you will never be able to remove all the lard from your hands. When making frosting, it's necessary to exclaim, "My hands are SO lardy!" at least 400 times.

Do note: we are certain we will find this class highly amusing and become cake divas. Welp, that's all for now. Update coming Wednesday when we attempt to make rainbow cakes!

Loves it,
Leah & Brittney
