I recently started a cake decorating class for fun with a couple girls from work. Not the best idea for the busy month of September but my husband doesn't seem to mind. The hardest part is frosting the cake without getting crumbs in it. I will definitely try "crumbing" it first when I have time (putting on a rough layer then sticking it in the refrigerator to solidify then adding a final layer of frosting). This particular class was about transferring images with piping gel, writing, and borders. Mine didn't come out half bad, if I do say so myself.
"Butter Cream" Frosting Recipe (not my favorite, but very easy to decorate with)
1 cup vegetable shortening (or half butter and half shortening)
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups confectioners sugar
1 tbsp milk or water
Cream shortening in mixer with vanilla. Gradually add sugar. Mix in milk and cream until smooth.
