Class 2 is officially complete and we managed to make our first round of cakes. If we say so ourselves the actual cake part turned out pretty good. The real issue came when it was time to frost them with the lardy frosting. Not only were we forced to use 2 tons of icing it made a huge mess. However, the cakes did not end up completely tragic. As for the actual class we found out the resident glarer (i.e. Cynthia) dropped out so the vibe was a bit more lighthearted. Also, Jeanette (the ha-larious old lady) was wearing an American flag tee which made us love her even more. The only disappointing thing about the class was literally having 10 minutes to frost our cakes. Seeing as how it took hours to make the cake, frosting, and actually frosting and packaging the things it it's a bit anticlimactic to only get to decorate for 10 minutes. Thus, we decided not to do the assigned rainbows and did whatever we wanted. Don't worry Marie approved us deviating from the lesson plan (we didn't want one line of a rainbow only on our cakes!) We could have taken them home and worked on them, but by that point we were over it, so circles and flowers it is. Overall, it was fun and as a bonus we learned how to make little stars.
Finally Done Frosting! We were stuck in traffic forever on the way to class, but at least we saw this horse mailbox
The finished products
We of course had to strike an ANTM pose
