Store Bought

For the final of Cake Decorating Basics, I had to decorate a cake using ribbon roses.  I HATE ribbon roses.  I don't like anything about them.  I did pass the class, but when I went home I did classic Wilton roses.

The cake is simple as far as the decorating.  I wanted it to look store bought or good enough to buy in a store.

The cake itself is the Coca-Cola Cake.  For this cake you need Coca-Cola and marshmallows.

Inside I had cherry filling, to make it a Cherry Coke cake.  It was interesting.  I think I need more practice in cooking with the marshmallows since I didn't know how to work with them.  Overall, it was a good cake.

Flowers & Cake Design Course

I loved the Flowers in the Wilton class.  I learned roses, violets, primroses, daffodils, lilies, and more.  I worked hard each night after class to perfect them and really worked out my forearms.

When it came time to do the final class, I was ready and had built up an inventory of flowers.  I made a white cake with raspberry filling.

Then I did chocolate buttercream for the basket weave.

All together I loved this cake.  I could improve with my color coordination, but I was so proud of this cake.  I absolutely love it and think it’s great.

And, I even passed the course!
