Cake Decorating

Last Thursday my English class and I decorated cakes. My mom always made me cool cakes for my birthday. My favorite for a long time was a train caked, decorated with candy. So, I've continued the tradition with my own children. Ridge has had a castle cake for two years and Holt has had animated characters. It seemed like a good idea to share this hobby of mine with my English class. So, I baked a bunch of white cakes and sponge cakes the week before and mixed up a huge batch of icing. Once I explained the basics, I turned everyone loose to decorate their own creation. As you can see by the pictures, they had a great time and were wonderfully creative.

The main photo is a picture of Chizuko's cat cake. It's great!

This is Yoko's Panda cake. She used cookies for the ears and eyes. Isn't it cute?

Chihiro's Doraemon cake. Doraemon is a anime characer. He's a cat robot with no ears. A mouse ate his ears, so he is afraid of mice, now. And yes, he's a blue cat.
