I know that Michael's offers Wilton decorating classes, but it's probably a lot easier to learn from someone who does cake decorating. I learned from my MIL, and she teaches 4-H girls...you could look into finding out if there is someone in your area that volunteers to teach 4-H cake decorating, and come up with some sort of trade (you help supervise and teach lower level cake decorating - like level 1, all they can do is place things on a cake, no tips allowed - in exchange for some upper level lessons?<br /><br />As for fondant, if you ever find a good tasting recipe, please let me know...that stuff tastes awful!majellamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809626019321902004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702707714463896610.post-61958855197579352242009-07-06T00:55:27.393-07:002009-07-06T00:55:27.393-07:00What about taking community college culinary class...What about taking community college culinary classes? The first one is way boring and practically all you do is cut up stuff and make broth. The next two classes are Understanding Culinary Techniques I and II. But after that you should be able to take a baking/pastry class or two. Perhaps the culinary techniques will teach stuff about pastry as well?<br /><br />They might sell fondant stuff at Michaels.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069385563012079451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702707714463896610.post-76175602078761601832009-07-05T16:21:12.652-07:002009-07-05T16:21:12.652-07:00I love Ace of Cakes!
