I don't know about you, but it didn't work so well for me either. Over the years I have heard a couple of tips. What I didn't know is that I wasn't getting all of the tip! I'd try their tips, but they never worked for me.

Then a friend of mine suggested taking a cake-decorating course being offered by our local hobby and craft store. Since I wasn't doing anything, I thought I would go check it out. My life has not been the same since. My cakes look wonderful and after taking a few more of the advanced decorating classes I am much better at decorating than I was. Instead of avoiding baking cakes to ice, now I make excuses to bake cakes just so I can practice more on my decorating skills. My husband is complaining about the weigh he is putting on and I tell him to go work it off. To be honest, he loves my cakes now better than before.

I have only taken a basic class and I am ready for them to start signing people up for the next class. I have found there are even other classes I can take. I started looking online and I found a place close to me offering these types of classes. As I looked even more online, I found there are web sites giving you step-by-step instructions to making some of these things. That might be great for some, but for me I need to watch someone do it.

Then one day it hit me. If I could compile everything I have found on the web and place at people's fingertips, they will have an easier time find information than I did. So that's what I did. I am on my way to being an expert cake decorator and you can too. Find the classes or the type of instruction which ever works best for you and get started just like I did and in no time you will be decorating cake and cookies like a pro!

Find a school and take your first class!

I can guarantee you will love it and be ready when it's over for the next class. You will want to learn more and more. The classes are fun, the instructors are helpful and the other students are all in the same boat you are in. Most of them can't ice a cake either or they wouldn't be there. Okay now you have decided to take a class, Where are you going to take a class? This is where my book comes in handy. It has schools listed in it, the classes they offer and what they cover in their classes. Most schools are similar, but they all are a little different when it comes to their curriculum.


Learn to be an Expert Cake Decorator

If you don't like the classroom setting, then you can find a course you can take online. The biggest difference between the two is the size of the class and the tools and supplies. In the classroom setting, the school will supply most of the tools and supplies you will need. At home of course you will have to furnish everything. You will want to have your own tools anyway, so investing in them before you take a class is not a bad idea! Plus once you have invest in the tools you will not want them to sit around collecting dust so put them to good use by taking a class. Whether it is online or in a classroom setting.

Just like you I had all but given up on trying to put icing on cakes, cookies, and cupcakes. I just couldn't do it where it didn't make a mess and the more I smoothed the icing on the cake the more of a mess it looked. I decided I would never learn how to make things look good, but at least I could make them taste good. That worked pretty well for a while. Every time I found a good recipe I wanted to try, but I knew it wouldn't look like the picture when I got through with it.
