Course 1 and 2 Cakes
Louanne on Oct 4th 2008
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!

Wow, I am super impressed. Emi’s birthday is February 2nd, I will call in my order. Of course, you will have to delivery it. Make sure you bring your most wonderful little helped along for the ride!
Cheers, Kiy
Wow. I agree with Kiy..I would like to place an order too (just kidding). Natalie’s B-day is in January. You make the cake, I will provide the Wunderbars…LOL. I could try 200 times and trust me, my roses would look like round balls. ..baking is not one of my forte….its all I can do to keep up with Mandarin…CTG
Great job! I hope you enjoy working with fondant, I love the way it looks on cakes but hate the way it tastes. How is your hand holding up? I used to get hand cramps from holding the bag too tight, I guess I have way too much pent up aggression.
You’ve done a great job on these!
Wow, fab cakes!! So, do you eat them all when you are finished???!!!!

Amazing! You are so talented. When are you starting your cake business???
Very, very nice. I can’t wait to see what you are making for the upcoming birthday in your family. You only have a couple more weeks to plan!
Oh yes my hand really starts to hurt, but it’s getting better and better as I practice more.
I have been so busy with the start of KIDS HOPE that this is a great creative outlet. Thanks everyone!
Gorgeous! Very impressive, Louanne!
Very cool! That would be a fun class to take. You did a great job on all the cakes!
