I opted to make cupcakes to figure pipe on rather than do the clown cake. I just don't really like the clown cake and didn't want to buy the clown heads. I had never done any figure piping prier to this class and thought that it was going to be a real drag, but it turned out to be pretty fun. I enjoyed making the animals. I did however run out of time and ended up just throwing some balloons and hearts on my last couple cupcakes.
