Katie has always had a dream of owning a bakery. I have always had a dream of owning my own retail business. So we have decided that our long-term goal is to start a bakery/event planning company.
Step 1: Learn how to decorate cakes
Step 2: Get money
Step 3: Open the bakery!
Right now, steps 2 and 3 are pretty much ridiculous thoughts, so we decided to start on step 1 and signed up for a Wilton Cake Decorating class. Tonight was our second lesson and our first cakes. Katie and I are, by far, the best decorators in the class. Katie is a little better than me, but she is good at everything, so I'm really okay with that. Everyone else in the class is really not good. We had to have our cakes iced with the basic layer before class so all we had to do was decorate it. Katie and I were so worried about how ours looked - we spent FOREVER using the techniques we were told the week before trying to get the icing completely smooth and get rid of spatula marks. Our fears were quickly gone, however, when we got to class and saw just how sloppy everyone else's cakes were. There were 2 people, a mother and daughter, who had smoother cakes than us, but they didn't decorate as well. It felt really good when everyone kept telling us that ours were the best and asking if we had done it before! I can't wait until next week to do another cake!
Anyone want to take care of Step 2 for me?
