I took my first cake decorating course about seven years ago with 3 really close and funny friends. We had so much fun and I really enjoyed the classes. From just this one course I learned enough to decorate my kids’ cute birthday cakes for years. This month I decided to retake the classes. It was great as a refresher, but my instructor kept trying to convince me week after week that I would use the frosting rose the most in my cake decorating. Huh? Maybe if you frost cakes at a grocery store. And second she thought that as soon as we graduated from cake making class that we’d all be decorating entire cakes with a star tip. Is that even feasible?
I’m not really this mean. I promise that I kept my mouth shut in class and only thought these things–never said them aloud. I’ll be starting the second course soon. With a different teacher at a different location. I can’t wait!

Oh man. This makes me laugh and my heart hurt. Maybe you should show up to class with a cake full of piped blue roses just to really get on her good side? Roses piped with a star tip, to boot.
I just recently discovered your site and blog. I actually found your ad in the Utah CEO magazine. You have such creative ideas! And I am totally with you- no one, I repeat NO ONE uses the frosting rose anymore. How old was the instructor? And has she looked at any sort of magazine at all in the last 10 years?!?!
I think your cakes look wonderful, and your roses are GREAT! I remember taking a Wilton Cake Decorating class about 10 years ago…..I made THE worst roses ever…so ugly that I never went back to the class! I guess that’s why I sew and don’t decorate cakes!
Thanks ladies for all of your comments. I couldn’t resist sharing that the instructor is probably in her early 40′s, maybe late 30′s, and she used to decorate wedding cakes for a living.
This whole blog entry makes me laugh.
My husband actually teaches the local Wilton cake classes around here. he is NOT your conventional teacher for sure. They’ve changed up their course offerings now, and they include more cupcake ideas and stuff, which is way more current. The books don’t look like they’re from 1974 anymore either, bonus! but he’s always kind of wondered why so many people want to learn to make THAT many flowers…i mean, who really uses them? (aside from the grocery store decorator I guess)
