NegoSkwela - Master Cake Decorating

The master cake decorating class at NegoSkwela is three days. I was a bit scared to enroll because of the title itself. Just because I took the basic doesn't qualify me as a master. I was intimidated that students who would attend this were already experts in this craft.

To my surprise, other students just decided to take this course because they didn't have time to take the basic one. I actually had the upper hand. Woohoo, nothing better than to pretend I was a pro.

During the day we went over the basics of my previous class to get everyone up to speed. Later, Allan showed off his skills with airbrushing. He made decorating a cake look so easy with just air and coloring. I'm simply amazed.

After his demo, we again had the opportunity to airbrush our very own cake. Now, let me tell you....I soo love airbrushing. I know it takes practice to master and you really need to have that creative eye....but I want an airbrush machine just because. I didn't realize that airbrushing a cake can be pretty easy. Again, let me stress easy, if you practice. But to think that the cakes they sell out in the retail shops can be so expensive, isn't so hard to do.
