Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Share your story about how the cake decorating bug bit you....

I took a cake decorating class with the Girl Scouts when I was 8. Since there were never any desserts in the house, I was baking every chance I got. Like many of you, I started with an Easy Bake oven. My first homemade cake was disgusting. I used safflower oil, because I didn't know any better. I remember my brother eating pure Crisco out of the can. He thought it was icing. My parents were on a health food kick, so there were never any sweets in the house. I guess it's a rebellious thing that I always have sweets in the house. My sister rebelled worse than I did. When I got stuck with her room, after I came back from college, every crack and crevice had a candy bar wrapper hidden in it ... in the radiator, between moulding, in the back of drawers. Now, when she comes over, by the time I tell her I have brownies in tin foil in the cabinet, she says, "I ate it already." She has sugar radar.

So, I'm happy to say I don't buy health food! It was all those little moths in the bins at the health food store that grossed me out!

Our son was born in 07 and I became a stay at home mom. We got TV for the first time in 5 years ( we were never home and just didn't have time for it before). I then discovered the Food Network and as my sons 1st birthday rolled around I decided to experiment with a pirate ship cake. The cake turned out awesome. Friends and family are now asking me to make cakes for them. I've never had a decorating class but I would like to take one some day. All I have learned has been trial and error and by watching Challenge on the Food Network.
