Learning some sweet new skills....

I have been taking the Wilton Basics Cake Decorating class at Hobby Lobby this month. Ever since I got hooked on the Cake Boss show, I have been dying to learn how to decorate cakes!! I have always loved to bake, so I figured it was time to acquire the skills to make my treats look colorful and whimsical.

Last night, we finally got to the fun stuff...experimenting with different types of icing flowers. Next month, I will be taking the fondant and gum paste class which should be even more exciting. I am really anxious to start sculpting SnipPet-y critters with sugar!

Here are my "shaggy mum" cupcakes...

Just love these shaggy mums. I have never made them and have been decorating cakes for 20 yrs!! Wow! Wanna trade some tips (as in secrets, not actual 'tips'.) Did you use the grass tip to makes these? Am curious!
