I have started 15 posts in my 2 month absence, the recipes are up the photos are edited but I struggle with the writing. I told John that I was suffering from writer's block, the only problem is that I'm not a writer! I wish I could write as eloquently and as effortlessly as some people to the point I have considered enrolling in a writing class. Then I begin to have flashbacks of high school and all those essays that I struggled to write and completely freak myself out.
With that in mind, this post was too good to wait. Even if the writing wasn't impeccable I wanted to share with everyone about this amazing experience. I took a cake decorating class at Planet Cake with one of my good friends Peggy, we are both cooking/baking enthusiasts and had been looking forward to this class for the last 2 months. A few days prior to the course we started texting each other about how excited we were and so finally after much anticipation and excitement, the day had come.
It was 6 hours of sheer bliss with the occasional frustrations, but overall I loved every second of it!! What's not to love about being surrounded by moist chocolate cake, dark chocolate ganache, icing and like minded individuals who did not need an explanation of 'ganaching a cake' and laughed when the teacher warned us about 'cracked sausages' (ok so it was Peggy and I who were laughing the loudest!). I am hooked, I already want to book myself in for the Cake Decorating 102 class (can you believe it's all booked out till June?!?!?!). The teacher and the facilitator at Planet Cake were amazing~ there were only 10 of us in the class so we were all well looked after. If anyone ever considered taking a cake decoration class- DO IT!!! Especially those living in Sydney, you won't regret taking the course at Planet Cake.
I am already thinking about all upcoming birthdays where I can put my new techniques to good use, so stay tuned!
