Shilpa: You could use a normal plastic bag, make a whole in the corner and insert the cake decorating tip there. I do that all the time. (I am assuming you are talking about using parchment paper for decorating).

Shilpa: Please go through wilton.com for all decorating techniques as well as recipes.

Manjula,thanks. Yes, Barbara also said the dome on cake might depend on temperature. All these days I was never bothered about it because I was only concerned about taste. But these days, I am watching out for it. I have never seen the cake sinking though.

You are welcome Aruna.

Thanks Ranjani.

MK, believe me, from the day I tried the ananas palya, I am making it almost once in a week . It has become my favorite these days. Good to know you liked it. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for letting me know PR.

Pelicano, *blush* *blush*, you are too kind .I hope i reach the point which you have mentioned .

Sangeetha, thanks for the tips. They will definitely be useful for me when I start decorating actual cakes. As of now, I can’t decide on colors because it usually depends on what color I use for my practice sessions in class. I will keep your tips in mind for next class.

Linda, I am very excited. Learning something other than usual technical stuff is a fascinating stuff for me these days .

Arjuna, I am overloaded here with a demanding job and these classes. But its a very good experience.

Preeti, I like to cook/bake/decorate. But when it comes to eating, I am very picky eater. I bake them, one day before the class. Our teacher told us to use store bought mix, but I make the dough from scratch, so it takes a long time.

Thanks Ayunus, these classes are worth every cent. Do not miss them.

Even I was planning to join the wilton classes…ur post is the second motivating resource…the decoration is jus great…for beginners!!
