Wilton Cake Decorating Course 3 Recap

I finished the Wilton Cake Decorating Course 3 a few weeks ago! Course 3 is mainly about fondant and gum paste-- which is a neat skill to learn. I'm going to try my hand at homemade fondant in the next couple of weeks and see how that works. I really enjoy frosting with buttercream and royal icing but knowing how to work with fondant is pretty key as well.

I'm excited to use all these new skills! I already have a few cakes I'm planning in the next couple of weeks. Below, I've recapped the four courses. If you haven't taken a cake decorating class yet, definitely try it out! It's a lot of fun!


First Week:
We made a bow and covered the cake in fondant... I think I failed the first attempt at covering... it's pretty pathetic.






Second & Third Week:

Flowers & Borders!

Eyelet Border



Ruffle Border


Inlays & Outlays




Rose


Carnation


Calla Lily


Daisy


Football Mum (not my favorite)



Fourth Class & Final Cake!







And when you slice into it:




Patriotic, huh?
