Cake Decorating with The Urban Cakery

momstown KW gathered together for one of the yummiest events yet and learned the basics of cake decorating with Christa from The Urban Cakery. Christa taught our moms how to decorate a cake starting with her ever-faithful cake recipe and basic butter cream icing recipe!

 The Urban Cakery is a peanut-free bakery that Christa runs from her home when she isn’t chasing around her three children. For the first session, momstown KW learned how to properly ice a cake and how to ‘build a damn’ to contain crumbs and seal layers together. We learned all about the differences between fondant and butter cream icing. She even gave us homework – we had to Practice!

momstown KW rejoined for session two (and we had to bring our homework - an already baked cake). Those who were really ambitious came with it already iced. Christa helped each of us with whatever stage we came prepared for and some of us needed all the help we could get!

 What did momstown KW moms take away from this? Well, baking and decorating a cake isn’t as ‘easy’ as it looks and everyone left with a new appreciation for anyone who can decorate a cake!
