Last night was my last class for Wilton Course 2 cake decorating and the photo above was the big finale! And yes, I made all the flowers by hand out of royal icing so they get rock hard. I have had so much fun learning this new hobby and will start Course 3 this Friday. Course 3 is tiered cakes and fondant which should be an adventure.
Here was the finale cake for Course 1. They tell you that you can’t give up on the Rose until you have tried to make 200, but trust me you get it long before that. I found that I like the Victorian roses we learned in course 2 much better than these Wilton roses, but it’s just personal preference. In course 3 we will learn to make a rose out of fondant. Roses seem to be popular in the Wilton world.
Here is the clown cake I made in Course 1. I thought they were so cute!
