Do you have a passion for baking?

If so, professional cake decorating may be a way to take hobby baking to the next level — a small business.

The Marengo County Extension Office will host two workshops taught by Janice Hall, a regional extension agent and Wilton-trained cake decorating instructor.

Both workshops will be held in the new Marengo County Innovation Center commercial kitchen.

The first workshop will be March 24 from 10 a.m. to noon and will focus on creating character cakes that the special children in your life will love. The second one on April 1 from 10 a.m. to noon will focus on making fondant.

Whether your goal is to express yourself through beautifully designed cakes or provide extra income the Extension hopes you will join us for both workshops. Space is limited to 15 participants. Call (334) 295-5959 at least one week before class to reserve a spot.
