Hola!
I have taken my 1st class! it was great.
now my question.. how did you guys get started in letting people know you are a cake maker?
i was thinking of making little cakes for the neighbors so they can try it out?? bringing one to the dentist office?
and just word of mouth?
Any other suggestions/?
I got started by making cakes for my co-workers, family, friends, etc. Word began to spread and that's how I got started. It doesn't take long especially if you do a really good job and if your cakes are delicious.

WHAT BUTTER CREAM TO YOU USE AGENT?
I use two buttercream recipes. One is Wilton's all shortening recipe. With this recipe I add an additional teaspoon of creme bouquet. The other recipe I use is from Wilton too but I use 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening.
All Shortening Buttercream
1 cup of shortening
4 cups of powdered sugar
1 tablespoon of meringue powder
1 teaspoon of clear vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of butter extract
1 teaspoon of creme bouquet
water for thinning (starting w/ 3 tbsp of water)
Half Butter Half Shortening
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of shortenig
4 cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of clear vanilla extract
milk for thinning
I mainly use the all shortening recipe for flowers and roses.
Well momof3 I have "heard" of teachers bdays, anniversaries, special school events and such that I have taken something to..now because word got out, I have recently done baby booties for a "bundles for babies" class here on base, I have a school carnival to do things for, bake sales to help the squadron out, and as people leave here and I here of their going away party I make up one and send it with the hubby! Heck there is another lady on base here that does cakes also...but even though I think she is better at it (shes being doing it for awhile) I have heard people tell me, "I'd rather have you do it, you're sweeter and easier to talk to, ****** is a snotty B who thinks theres no better" sometimes I dont know if I should take it as a compliment or what....but since I know how the other lady is...I take it as a compliment...yes I am cheaper, I ask for less, but I have been given more, as a tip, that makes the total about 10 dollars more then what ******* charges. I won't use her name just in case!
Too me it gives your icing a citrus smell and taste. I bought mine at my cake supply store. I'm sure you could order at an online cake supply store.
When I tasted the icing with this flavor for the first time, I didn't taste as much of the sweetness as I normally do.
