Oh What FUN! Yesterday was my cake decorating class at the Culinary Institute of America. OMG-The class was so cool. The campus at the Culinary is just beautiful. I couldn't believe I was there. I kind of felt like an Elvis fan at Graceland. The Chef was really good, she was the author of the cake art book that was given out at the end of the class. We got a gourmet buffet lunch (included in the class) which everyone went ga-ga over but since they didn't have peanut butter and jelly or grilled chicken sandwiches, I was at a loss (ha ha). We each got to decorate a cake that had been baked already for us (that was awesome!) She showed us some cool tips that you just can't pick up from a book or video. I think I had a smile on my face for 9 hours. The class was loaded with rich women from nearby (talking about their nannies) but also as far away as Costa Rica! All their Coach and Loius Vitton bags had to be stored away from the icing coloring. My Bruce Springsteen bag from Wal-Mart was very convenient. Anyway, this is the cake I made, which a lot of people liked and I might copy it for Corinna's snowflake themed birthday party. The Chef told me I was doing nice work so I totally blushed because she wasn't just doling out compliments to everyone. hee hee. Here's the two other cakes I made this weekend.
