As mentioned in an
earlier post, the third lesson looked like it would be go go go and oh boy was
it. I quickly accomplished the drop flower and star flower with ease. But struggled slightly with the shell border, as I wanted to raise my
tip instead of letting the icing do all the work. With a few minutes
practice and some instruction from the teacher I managed to resist the
urge to move the tip up. Next up was the rosette, which I feel resembles a small rose bud. The hardest part about this flower will be making sure each are all constant in size. We quickly moved on to the pom pom flower. This flower really doesn't look like a pom pom. In fact, the shaggy mum looks more like a pom pom. So I vote the pom pom be called hmmmm., the layered daisy. The appearance of the layered daisy is pretty but find it might be hard for it to be made on the cake, weeeeee lots of spinning. With limited time remaining in the class, we rushed to learn leaves, how to fill a cupcake and how to ice the cupcake. Icing a cupcake is done similar to the rosette but starting from the outside. Finally with just a few minutes left we learned shaggy mum. This flower is definitely not my favorite, much to sloppy looking, but it could make a great monster. Our final class, we will be working on the ribbon rose, writing, and completely our final cake. Miata Guy asked me to make the cake a russian imperial stout (refer to my second entry for the recipe.). I'm plan to ice the cake in chocolate frosting and decorating in red, orange, and yellow, Nice color palette for fall.

The above cupcakes were the only ones left! Miata Guy ate all the others before I remembered to snap some photos.
