Wilton Cake Classes..Yes Please

So I have always been interested in baking. As a child I would enlist one of my brothers...most often my brother Derek to bake with me.  Our creations we simple and most often involved baking cookies for our family.  In high school I took foods and nutrition as my elective of choice and even ended up winning a scholarship due to my marks in the class......fast forward about 9 years and due to all of the reasons listed in my previous post baking slid to the back burner of life. Heck I rarely felt like cooking dinner at the end of the day let alone baking.

So when my long time friend Kelly emailed and asked if anyone wanted to sign up for a basic Wilton Cake Course being offered in town I jumped at the chance.  More because 9 years, careers and 3 kids later it was hard for Kelly and I to find time to see each other.

The class was fun and easy but also very informative.  It ran 1 night a week for 2 hours for 4 weeks and the cost of the course included a student kit from Wilton with the necessary tools needed. Can you believe that I had never torted or filled and stacked a cake...the basic knowledge was very useful and I was addicted!  Over the past few months I have enjoyed experimenting and creating.  People ask if I am interested in selling my products or starting a business and the answer is...read my previous post I am far to busy to take on something else right now.  This is purely for fun...but if I can make a few dollars to support my habit along the way I am interested.......if I can find time. :)

Too bad they don't sell anything locally, I now make a point of it to stock up whenever I am in the states on Wilton products! 

Here is a few of my creations thus far.

And to my friend Kelly......hope you know that even though life has limited our time spent together I am happy that 15 years after meeting you I can still call you my friend!
