For our first week exploring cake decorating we signed up for a Cake Decorating Bootcamp at Cook Culture. You could explore their classes here if you feel motivated to get baking after reading this! It was a three hour crash course we hoped would set  us up for success over the coming weeks of baking.

It was actually super helpful as they provided us with basic recipes for both a chocolate and vanilla cake, as well as different kinds of icing and mousse. The cake decorating technique we were practicing at the bootcamp was an ombre effect.

I chose yellow and it actually turned out alright- and very delicious! It was good to start with something basic- and maybe after this week we have enough skills to attempt something a bit more difficult next week. Stay tuned!
