Rosie, how are things going?
I love it!!! I have a group of 8 girls and they're all so enthusiastic and happy to learn something new that I'm not even afraid of messing up. lol
I will be teaching course 1 again next month, just waiting for the new curriculum in June. But I think next month I'll be teaching 2 classes of course 1- 1 in english and 1 bilingual.

I've got a young man this month, along with another a couple of teens in another class. Sometimes the younger ones are my favorites.
Loucinda, I do have those students that I still talk to years later.

I've been a WMI at Michael's for about 18 months.
![Postal_Cakemaker Cake Central Cake Decorator Profile](http://cdn001.cakecentral.com/avatars/4/40/100x100_493683_postal-cakemaker_pNz6.jpeg)
I kept applying and never got a reply back. I got lucky seeing a sign in a store a few weeks ago.
I've wanted to be an instructor ever since Day 1 of Course 1

Another WMI over here! Been teaching at Michaels for about 1 1/2 years now... (Taught my class tonight, in fact!)

I have to admit that I forgot how much fun it was to teach cake decorating! I left it before to start a full time job. I still did decorating, but only here and there for friends and family- no real growth. I think I have learned more in the six months that I have been teaching again than in the entire 7 years I didn't.
My favorite student so far is a lady who has been baking and 'decorating' for 30 years-- I was kind of intimidated by her (what could I possibly teach HER?)-- every single class she exclaims "I've learned so much!" It's great.
Any favorite student stories?

Tracy, I think they only hold on to the apps for 6 months so it is worth a try. And as you said there has to be an opening. Where I live there is only two places that offer the classes. I've been at Michaels for 6 years, and the girl before me was there forever as well. So you just have to get it at the right time.
Tmac, I had a student at the end of last year that took the first Wilton classes back in the 70s. She wanted to learn fondant and gumpaste so she came back for Course 3 and the F/GP. When she told me she took the class in the late 70s I thought, wow, I was barely even born when you started, and like you wondered what she could learn from me. But I was able to teach her some things she didn't now and enjoyed having her in the classes.

I've been one at Michaels for just over a year. Love it but have trouble trying to fill a daytime class (trying to do it while the kids are in school).
