Wilton Course II, Class 3

Last night, we worked on learning and practicing five new flowers. We were again working with royal icing. She also asked us to keep saving our flowers so that we can use them all to decorate our cakes in our final class next week. I’m excited to see how it’s all going to come together.

Final cake next week! We will be working with buttercream again to learn basketweave and rope borders. We’re going to decorate the cakes with all of the royal icing flowers we have already made, and then fill in with buttercream leaves.

I’ve had fun, but I’m ready to be done with this class. Back in the summer, when we didn’t have anything else going on, taking the Wilton course was no problem. Now that I am back into the swing of things with fall, am taking aerobics classes two nights a week, etc. it is just way too much to handle.
