The little one and I enjoyed watching the show so much that we decided to find our own cake decorating class. They have one in Greenville called Cakes by U, and we found an open studio time slot to drop in.
With no soccer games today, it was a perfect Saturday for a mom & daughter date.
We each selected a 5" double-layered cake, and we both chose vanilla cake and vanilla frosting. They had so many flavors and colors for the frosting, but we kept with plain butter cream like the professionals on the show.
The studio also had instructions on how to decorate the perfect cake, although you didn't have to follow them.
After the butter cream layer, we could add fondant on top for a smooth finish or just pieces of fondant as decorations. We chose the latter since neither of us actually liked the taste of it, but knew from the show that fondant could help you make cool designs.
The little one finally got hers iced!
I was done first and started taking pictures and cleaning up. Here's a selfie of my masterpiece!
You can see the neat atmosphere in the studio. It's like a Dr. Seuss theme.
We both decided on seasons. My favorite is fall and hers is winter. Now to get them home for the taste test...
Nailed it!
