Wilton Cake Decorating Course 3

Course 3 of the Wilton Cake Decorating Courses deals more with fondant and tiered cakes. There wasn't much about the fondant aspect that I didn't learn on my own ahead of time. We did learn some different flower techniques and making fondant flowers.

Sarah's 30th Birthday cake

I created this cake for my sister's 30th birthday. The flavor of the cake is dark chocolate with a chocolate mousse filling and chocolate buttercream icing (of my own recipe). I shredded chocolate on top instead of curling it (not to mention, it just wouldn't curl for me). This is the first cake I'd done since starting the Wilton Cake Decorating Classes.



I also don't feel a cake is finished until it's been put in a cake box. It takes on a more professional appeal. I wonder if someday I could get some cool custom boxes made.

Jakes 24th Birthday

I didn't want this cake to be too girly, but the birthday boy didn't really give me a preference to what he wanted. He said white cake with strawberry filling. That was it. So I did a basket weave with a yellow sweet pea border. He loved it.
