CAKE DECORATING Central Magnet School

The Cake Decorating Club meets during B rotation in room 240.

Middle School only.

I will demonstrate tips and techniques you can try at home. This is different than in the past when we would meet periodically after school. I just feel it is just too much to bring cakes/cupcakes/icing/tips/bags to school.
