Course Two

So this week I finished course 2 in my cake decorating classes! Yay It's been so much fun these past 4 weeks. This course was all about royal icing and making new flowers.

My flowers look sooo much better in course 2 because we are using royal icing. Royal icing is stiffer and dries really hard compared to buttercream frosting. I learned how to do the basket weave it looks really cool and its not that hard to do! Next week I start courses 3 which is fondant and tiered cakes and 4 where I will be making fondant and gum paste!!

Final Cake Course One

On to course TWO yay!

Cake Classes

So 4 weeks ago a started taking Wilton cake decorating classes. I've been taking them at Micheal's craft store and its been so fun! I usually decorate my cakes with fondant and I really didn't know how to use frosting. So the past few weeks I've made a character bunny cake with a star tip.

The one and only official Wilton rose.

Then our final project was to combine all the techniques into one final cake.

My co-workers have really appreciated all the tasty desserts i've been bringing them!

Next week I start course 2 and I'm way excited to learn more flowers.
