Kids Class Cakes
These were the final day's project in my Icing Fun kids class at the community college. They are each two 6" layers, one chocolate and one yellow. My students ranged from 5th - 8th grade, and only had Wilton tips #3, 18 and 352 to work with. We had some problems with crumbs in the icing, but overall I think they were really cute!

Simple Practice Cupcakes
I made these using the only the tips from the Wilton Sampler Kit, #3,18,352. I will be teaching a children's class in August and wanted to have some ideas of the things they will be able to do. They are for my dad's Lions' Club's chicken BBQ this weekend - people might think I've gone nuts when they see them!

Sample Cake For A Kids Class
I am teaching a cake decorating class for kids through the local community college in 2 weeks. I ordered the Wilton sampler kits for my students, they include 3 tips: #3,#18 and #352. I've never worked with #352 before, I always make #67 leaves. I made this single layer cake today playing around, trying to figure out what we can do with just those 3 tips. Comments, criticism and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Car Cake
I made this cake for my father and uncle's birthdays, which fell right before and right after a family reunion. The car was supposed to be a '57 Chevy Bel-Air, a favorite of both of them. I found a fairly simple drawing, and traced it with piping gel. After doing the transfer, i had trouble seeing and following the lines. In hindsight, I should have done a practice cake a week before to make sure I could do it.

Welcome Back!
I made this last August. Working on it was a good way to relax the weekend before I had to start teaching again. It was my first non-cake class attempt with fondant, and also my first attempt at making marchmallow fondant. The apple shape was a cookie cutter from a set at the dollar store. I wanted a redder shade, but got tired of adding food coloring.
