Push In Pillars

Hey everyone. I just wanted to post a quick pic of a cake that I did this weekend. I used the Push-In Pillars. It turned out great. This is a very simple idea of just placing the tiers around an elevated center tier.

June Class Schedule

Here is the class schedule for June:
Course I Mondays 6-8pm

Final Classes

Boy does time fly. Next week is the the last class for my Course 2 and Course 3 students. Everyone is doing such a great job. Course 2 will be doing the Basket Weave cake and making use of all the flowers that they have been making. Course 3 will be doing a cake of their choosing. I am interested in seeing how creative these cakes will be. The schedule should be out for June soon, and I will make sure to pass it along.

Cute Idea: Festive Floral Cupcakes

Check out this link on making these gorgeous cupcakes. This idea is using Royal Icing flowers. The flowers would also look beautiful on a tiered fondant covered cake.

Course 3 Class 2 Tonight

We will be making fondant roses tonight. Pleas bring along to class your clear vanilla extract. This will be used as a glue.
Also, you need an 8" square cake that is at least 3" tall. This can be achieved with a single layer that is 3" high, or by combining 2 layers that are 2"+ tall. The taller the cake, the easier it is to apply fondant.

This Week's Coupons

Hello All. Good news: AC Moore has a 50% coupon and Michael's has a 40% coupon. Remember that you can use both of these coupons if you have 2 different items in 1 purchase. Course 3 students, use your coupons to buy fondant. Also 50% off the 4lb ready made BC icing is a great deal. See the side menu for links to these coupons.
