I took my first cake decorating class in November, 2007. From the very first class, I was hooked! I made my first wedding cake in June, 2008. After that, there weren’t many occasions to make decorated cakes. I made cakes for fun and practice and regularly foisted them onto my coworkers and a group of local volunteers. My friends and family all got seriously over the top birthday cakes; even a wedding cake or two.
