Good idea about practicing!

Nope on the eggs. He forgot to grease/flour or PAM the pans. The cake TOTALLY stuck and got ruined. GOSH--even I KNOW you need to flour the pan!!

There is a great product out there called "Cake Release" it's made by wilton and it's got flour and shortening in it, so all you do is squeeze it into your cake pan and wipe it around. Works like magic.

I wonder if a trip to wilton would yield any (cake decorating) fruits. THe headquarters is not far and I think they have a store...

Thanks for the tip!

I am jealous that Wilton has a headquarters near you.

Do you know if they have a store? I know they have some kind of sample sale once or twice a year.

If you have a Michael's or something near you, even a walmart carries Wilton items in their Cake Departments. I get most of my stuff at Michaels, and I probably have a coupon I can e mail over.

actually the water on the cake pictured above is cake gel, not frosting.

Julie, You can purchase piping gel in a tub at Michael's as well and mix it in with your frosting to make it look more like water. You can also purchase pearl poweder to give it an irridescent look as well.

Escapee, is the gel better alone or mixed with frosting? Cool idea about the pearl powder!

Mix it with frosting, it will keep it looking wet and gel/water like. It makes it spread really nicely too.

Sorry Landi, but gel doesn't look like that when you are trying to form waves. It doesn't hold the shape as frosting does! :-)

Hey, stop over in the dumb questions thread to see a few photos of what the boys came up with. Also we're looking for ideas for Ryan to choose from for the title/description of this cake. Thanks again for all the help!!

I start my cake decorating class tonight!!!

I asked my husband if he was going to take my picture on the back porch for my first day of school. He seemed amused.

Escapee - do you ever visit the cake wrecks blog? They had the coolest link today to a valentine cake. You should be able to see it HERE. Then, on the cake wreck site, there's a link to instructions for the valentine cake.

Class is ok, no pics yet. Still haven't figured out how to make them smaller to fit TVClubhouse. I don't seem to have the talent I had hoped for, but am taking Cake Decorating Class 2 anyway. I need to practice more. I have a cool idea for a valentine cake, just need to see if I can do it.

Aw Sugar, I'm sure you're doing just fine. And good on you for going to the second Class. Nothing wrong with a little practicing...although I suppose it could be dangerous too. Yum!
