Cake decorating

I have some very fond memories of my Grandma, the cake decorator. She used to let us look through her cake books and choose what cake we wanted for our birthdays. She also made me, and many others, my wedding cake. I've always thought it might be fun to try so when Grandma called and said she wasn't doing cakes anymore and do I want her stuff, the obvious answer was "Ummm...yeah!" I'm taking some Wilton classes over the summer and after just one class I got antsy and wanted to try it out. Tomorrow we're having a going away party for our friends DJ and Michelle who are going to London to live for the next 8 months so I'm taking advantage of the excuse to make a cake! Here's the final product. I really had fun. I'm glad my mom is a cake decorator too. She helped me put it all together. Here's to many more!
