Ok guys...just wondering here. What kind of progression should you expect when learning this trade? I'm self taught..and have never taken a class.

If have so many ideas in my head for how to do a cake...but when it comes down to it...my final product, and my plan dont quite match up. I'm going to guess that its a pretty slow process?

The cakes in my photos are my last 4. The cake I did before that was years back, so I dont count that.

I am happy that I've started using/making MMF, and did my first tiered cake with success!

I think this varies for everyone. Some people catch on to somethings better/quicker then others. As they say practice makes perfect. I'm also self taught. I started a long time ago by reading Wilton's yearbooks & The Cake Bible when it first came out. I'm sure I will take a class in something eventually, I just haven't had the opportunity. And no, it won't be a Wilton's course at Michael's.

Well, I appreciate the response...however, I dont remember posting this!

I was really tired last night, and just staring at my laptop...ooops!

LOL! Make sure to take naps in between site visists. You'll be able to feed your CC addiction throught out the day without getting tired.
