babyshower The Baby Shower Guide is having another baby shower cake contest. You can read the contest rules here. Entry is FREE and the grand prize is a $50 Visa gift card.

I entered last year’s contest (Baby Shower Cupcakes and Hey Baby). I didn’t win but it was as fun to write about the circumstances behind the cakes as making them.

In one of my classes a teenage boy was the best decorator in the class. Nothing like having good hand strength to squeeze those piping bags!) I also met a teenage girl whose mother enrolled her to see if she was really serious about enrolling in chef school. (She was and did well in the course.)

I took my Wilton class through a local recreation district. However, Wilton courses are available through Michaels and Hobby Lobby craft stores. Some 4-H programs offer them, too. You can also take Master classes directly at Wilton in Darien, Illinois.

Cake decorating classes - or any cooking classes - are a delicious way to bond with your children.

Books for inspiration for parents and kids:

    I’ve always wanted to take a cake-decorating class. I think it would be so fun! Someday . . .

    Can I sign up as a volunteer to eat the practice cakes?
