Finding the Inner Artist with Rick Reichart
It is better late than never! Hawaii comes to Ontario!
It has been over a month, since I attended the 'Discovering your inner Artist' cake class with Rick Reichart from Cakelava held at Icing Inspirations.
Rick is an excellent teacher. He did not hesitate to share his knowledge or expertise. Even though I had been in the field of cake decorating for more than a decade and had learned multitude of techniques including air burshing, I can honestly say, I learned a new technique in air brushing.
Here is my Fish cake, which I thoroughly enjoyed sculpting, painting and air brushing. I was in my own world and it provided me with an opportunity to let my 'inner spirit' flow freely.
Even though we had tons of work and lots to be accomplished; we all had fun. There was so much laughter, mini discussions and joy shared by all. Rick kept us entertained with his humour.. The day of the hibiscus cake the room was filled with a Green mist and everyone was Green, not Green with envy but sprayed with the colour Green :)
Rick and his lovely wife Sasha, were extremely friendly and down to earth. They are sweet as icing;))
I had the pleasure of meeting Carrie, from Carriescakes who I recognized immediately from the Ultimate Cakeoff. I also met Angela from Sugar Cove and was nice seeing a familiar face; Juanita, from Sweet Things.
Chrissie, the owner of Icing Inspirations was lovely as always. Ever friendly and ready to offer assistance. She has a spacious great teaching facility.
Now for the pictures:
