I took all three of the Wilton Cake Decorating classes years ago. It was so much fun that I started teaching the classes as well! What I always told my students was that cake decorating is not hard -- you just have to know how to do it. Once you know the techniques and the trade "secrets" you can make marvelous cakes. And if you're not particularly creative, Wilton publishes a Yearbook each July with photos and instructions on many different types of cakes; just use these as guides or for inspiration. I highly encourage you to take that first class and see how much fun it can be. You can sign up for classes at your local Michael's store. Have fun!
