I start teaching at Hobby Lobby next month!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. I thougth 2 substitue classes in June when my instructor had a family emergency, so i know how it goes. But teaching course 1 is a lot different from teaching Fondant and Gumpaste!!! And i've only been doing this since January!!

I know that the more i teach, and work on cakes at home, the better i will be. Practice makes perfect and all that. But at the same time, I'm still very unsure of myself and my ability. I can not get my icing smooth no matter how hard i try. I haven't covered a cake in fondant since course 3. Gee, last time i piped some clowns was back in January! I've got lots of prep work to do!

First of all--CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Second of all---YOU'LL DO JUST FINE.
You are being hard on yourself. You will probably find out that you will love teaching!
Good Luck! I'm behind you all the way!!!

Congrats! You'll love it! I've only been teaching since April, but the more you teach, the easier it gets--and the students make it all worthwhile! Just know that each time thru the material, you will get better and more comfortable. Enjoy!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

I just had a look at your cakes and I would happily take a course from you.
Congratulations.

Congratulations & Good Luck!!!

ive taken all four wilton courses and i was contacted by wilton in regards to being an instructor, but i dont think im ready. Maybe the beginning of next year after i have time to build up my skills

Congratulations!! You will do just fine.

Great! Congratulations!

I feel a little silly asking, but what does WMI stand for...I'm coming up with "Weapon of Mass Instruction"

congrats!!! I'm sure you will do a fine job!

Congratulations. I'm a WMI at Hobby Lobby and JoAnns and I'm not far from you. I'm in Northwest, IN. PM me if you have any questions. I was really nervous when I started, too, but you get over it fast because it's so much fun. Good Luck,
Renae

Congrats!! You will be fine. I had that fear when I started. Don't worry about it. Once you get into the swing of things you will feel better.

Have you heard about the WMI Yahoo Group? Send an email to [email protected] and Selina will get you set up. It's a great board of WMIs that can offer suggestions, help and ideas. It's also a great place to vent.

Thanks, i know i'll get better as i go along, i just hope i'm good enought for the first few courses!
