My Cake Decorating Kit review 2

Picture this.

A girl sitting on her kitchen floor, covered from head to toe in flour, icing, and sugar, kneading away at gum paste. Surrounding her, is counters of mixing bowls, a sink full of flour-covered utensils, and a white kitten with bright green spots.

As you read this, I'm am still dressed in flour with spots of pink icing in my hair and Kit Kat is still rocking the green icing spots. I spent this evening baking. No, that is incorrect. I spent this evening attempting to decorate what I had already baked. I love to bake, but what I have learned from reviewing this My Cake Decorating kit is they need to send me a box of patience.

My Cake Decorating Kit is a monthly subscription that sends you cake decorating inspiration along with the tools needed! Each month a box will arrive with a new cake decorating issue with recipes and decorating tips. In addition, they surprise you with new and exciting baking and decorating tools. So far, I have received adorable pink butterfly and star cookie cutters, reusable piping bags, letter embossers, piping tips, and more!!  

Baking is simple. It's science and I know science. But, the tedious efforts that go into making things pretty are down-right exhausting. The people on t.v. make it look so easy. Though, with a couple of deep breaths and the occasional "ugh!!" I found myself improving. I get a little excited about things and tend not to read directions... So, after my first attempt-fail, I went back to My Cake Decorating Kit and read the simple, simple instructions. The authors of the kit do a very good job breaking recipes and instructions into simple steps. Before I show you my attempt at being a cake decorator, let me go over some pros and cons of this kit.


I started off with the butterfly cookies. Though these look a little rough, the more I practice the better they look! Then I baked some delicious banana cupcakes and topped them with banana frosting. I used the gum paste to make the adorable yellow butterflies.





I'm getting better with practice. If you want to see a pro head over to Beth Cakes! She don't play!

My Cake Decorating Kit Review! You are going to love this!



Hi friends! I have something special to share with you all today. I'm learning to cake decorate!! I have always enjoyed baking, but I never really had the talent to make them pretty. My Cake Decorating Kit is an easy and fun way to learn to decorate sweet treats. Today, I'm reviewing the starter kit, which is everything you see below. In this Starter Kit is a Guide, Set of Two PINK Butterfly Cutters, a PINK Cupcake Stand, and bonus gift - Icing & Cookie Press Gun Set. I'm sold by the pink alone! 





The Starter offer is only $1.99! Each month following the starter kit you will receive a new kit in the mail for just $14.99 per month. This will include three booklets packed with easy-to-follow instructions, expert tips, recipes, and decorating tools. You know you are curious!!! Head over here to get more information!

I started out having fun with the PINK cookie cutters. I also played around with some dye, which is why my butterflies look a little dark. They are truly purple.

This was the first thing that caught my eye. Aren't they so pretty? I could just see them at a baby shower or bridal shower. 



The instructions were very easy to follow and I always appreciate pictures to guide me. You can see below I have started the process. And yes, they are suppose to be purple. I got a little carried away. But, these aren't the finished product. After I played around, I was a good student and went back through the guide a followed step by step. Easy, peasy! You are going to be oh so surprised when you see them. Head back over Friday for the finished project and I'll give you a sneak peek at what I'm decorating next. 



What are you waiting for? Let's learn to decorate together!!!
Let me know when you get your kit so we can share pictures!

Happy Decorating!!
