I had a fabulous time teaching my son's 6th grade class about cake decorating today. His teacher, Mrs. Fossum, was such a wonderful sport to let me come in and spend time with her kids.
This is a picture of the cake before the class helped me finish decorating it.

| The doughnut on this cake is made of gumpaste and it's my favorite part of the cake. I also love all of the worms. One of the kids told me the worms looked way too real to eat. |
Mrs. Fossum's amazing collection of rubber duckies was the inspiration for this cake. The story behind this cake is pretty simple. It's a section of the sidewalk outside of their school just after a rain storm. The ducks have come to play in the puddles. I spent a few minutes talking with the kids about the basics of cake decorating and what they had to work with and then I taught them how to make their own ducks.
I was totally impressed by all of the kids in the class. They did such a great job making their ducks. It was so fun to see all of the individual touches. We had ducks with big hair, hats, scarves, bows, even a duck with headphones. I loved it.

| I think the ducks look awesome! |

| Cutting the cake. It was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and oreo cream filling. It was so good. |
