Cricut cake Class in Fremont at Precious Treasures

The next cake decorating class using the Cricut (note, you do not need to own any electronic cutter to take this class, all supplies, including a cake, will be provided) will be held on October 8.  Please email me at confetticreationsbyjessica at yahoo dot com for the details...and spread the word!  It will be held in Fremont, NE at Precious Treasures.  Yes, it is a few miles from Omaha, but her store has such a great collection of items it's worth the drive just to check out the store! 
I will also be doing a demo using the Print and Cut feature of the Silhouette...I'd teach the entire class using just the Silhouette, BUT...I only have one Silhouette and six Cricuts...so, cricuts it will be.

Limit:  12 students.
Cost:  $75 per student

includes cake, recipes, cricut usage, and more!

It was a long week, but it was fun! {Omaha Birthday Cakes, Omaha Wedding Cakes, Lincoln Brithday Cakes}

This past week I had THREE cake orders (and my husband's birthday party) and I was a major contributor to a wedding cake (LONG story).
Though I did not see the cake 100% finished, the bride had picked a lovely image for me to cut out of gum paste and I bet Jean did a fabulous job finishing it (I can't wait for the bride to get back from her honey moon and post pictures!).  I did about 55-70% of the total work and loved the bottom layer (the only one I got to see finished in person).
Here are the four birthday cakes I did this past week:

My first time using shimmer dust (or whatever it is called.)  I forgot to cut it with corn starch, so it was a bit strongly colored, but Isabella LOVED it anyway.  This was my first stand up tiara and I thought it was so cute.

This was my first delivery to somewhere more then a few miles away.  I was so nervous, but it worked out great!  My friend said everyone loved it, which made me happy, since I just knew something had magically happened to it during the car trip from Omaha to Lincoln.  :)

This cake was for my friend's son and features the print and cut feature of the Silhouette.

My husband's birthday cake.  He is a huge Phineas and Ferb fan :)

I don't see myself doing this much cake in one week anytime soon, but with some careful planning, a supportive family, and a "figure out plan B" attitude, I survived.  Maybe it was all the frosting I was eating throughout the process.  He, he, he.

My first Cricut cake class at Precious Treasures was a HUGE success!  I had fun doing it and hope the girls learned a lot!
I do not have my next class scheduled, so if you want to do one at your house any time after July, feel free to contact me.  Or maybe in September I will do another at Precious Treasures. (?)  Class price is $75 per student and includes a 6 inch cake covered in fondant that you decorate, along with learning the tips and tricks of using gum paste with your Cricut...not just the Cricut Cake, but ANY Cricut, even the Expressions or Create!  Maximum class size is six.

Cricut cake decorating class at Scrapbook and Co. {Baton Rouge Cake Decorating Class}

Hey...I've got an adorable baby shower cake to post, plus pictures from my Precious Treasures Cricut cake decorating class AND pictures from my fondant class at Cindy's house!  Wow...that's a lot to update.  I would have done it sooner, but as soon as those classes were taught and the cake was baked, I packed up for Louisiana for a fun trip visiting family and learning even more about the fabulous Creative Designs cake decorating method.
So, stay tuned for all that (coming Tuesday, after a whirlwind trip to TX for TWO cake events!)...
Now...on to a fun announcement.

So, if you are in the Baton Rouge area, or want to take a little road trip, call today and sign up for what is sure to be a fabulous class!  I can't wait.

**All pictures in this post are 100% fondant cakes**


My first cricut cake decorating class is now listed on Precious Treasures website! Go check it out and sign up today.

If you'd like to learn the basics of how to cover and decorate a cake in fondant, contact me to find out about settings up a Girls Night In! For $12.50 a person, I will come to your home or meeting and teach the basics of fondant making, covering a cake, and decorating. Minimum 3, Maximum 6 (varies depending on the size of space you will provide, contact me for more info)

And no...it does NOT taste like the gross fondant you buy pre-made in a store! It is actually very sweet and easy to peel off, just in case you can't get over those past encounters with fondant.
