I have not taken any classes, I'm self taught and my teachers have all been the great people on CC.  |

I have taken Wilton classes 1, 2 & 3, which are offered at Michael's & Hobby Lobby stores... maybe other places too, not sure. I am glad I took them, learned a lot since I was a complete novice. |

Yes, I think this is the 2nd investment I've made and I enjoyed all 3 courses + the Fondant & Gumpaste class as well. |

I really liked the classes I took, it was the Wiltons I II III at our joanns store ... I was really sad when they ended but haven't been able to afford any more classes ... BUT I will say this ... I have learned allllll my cake decorating tips from here .. my classes were fun, and I learned exactly what was in their books, but the tips, and advice, and creativity, it all comes from this site right here! |

Took a very basic course out of boredom years and years ago, learnt how to fill a bag and pipe very simple things, sort of like a shortened Wilton one course I suppose. Everything else is self taught |

I had to teach myself most of what I do because I live over an hour from a Michaels or an AC MooreI and I've learned the most from CC. But I did take a gumpaste flower class a few months back that was great...just to be around others who love cake decorating! |

I too live an hour away from the nearest classes. I was introduced to cake dec'ing by gramma, then learned basics in Home Ec. in high school. CC has taught me more than anywhere, though! |

The Wilton I class is $18 plus the cost of supplies at Michael's. Im not sure about other classes. I think there is another decorating class near me though (Boston, MA) and its like $24. |

I am in the midst of Wilton Course 2. I am polishing the skills I learned from watching my mother decorate many cakes. I really like the fellowship of people that have the same interest as I do! My courses at HL are $12.50! |
