The Royal Birds

Our second cake decorating class is SO hard. I'm not sure if I'll pass. There is so much homework that I just don't have time for. You'd think I was in college or something. This week I spent equally time prepping for class as the class length itself only to find out that I was NOT prepared. My favorite part about this week was learning how to make these birds out of Royal Icing. I think I could make some pretty cool things by playing around with the Icing a little bit. The flowers that we learned did not look cute and the reason I am sure to fail is that throughout the first 3 weeks we are supposed to be making flowers, tons of them. Which none turned out this week and we missed the first week because Armand didn't get home in time for me to take the car. Then, on our last week we are supposed to bring in all the flowers we have made plus a frosted cake and decorate the cake with the birds and flowers. It's not looking good. I hope they don't mind if I just have 3 blue birds on my cake.
