Cake Class #3.

I'm currently taking the first Wilton cake decorating class. A lot of the techniques are "totally 80's", as my friend and classmate Ingrid and I have decided (e.g. star filled cakes, roses, etc.), but still I'm learning a lot. One thing I've learned is that decorating with piped frosting is much more difficult than with fondant, which is how I've finished most of my cakes (like the Wii cake).

Anyhow, this week we made a clown cake. It's not that great, but here it is. My right clown's arms are a little... shall we say horse-like? Oh well. It eats just the same. Inside is a lemon cake filled with lemon curd. Originally the white frosting was going to be yellow, but I was running out of time and patience during class, so I was short-cutting some things.
