Final Wilton Cake!
So I thought I would post my final Wilton cake. I wasn’t as pleased with the final outcome as my previous cakes. For one thing, I used twice as much butter as was called for in the cake recipe, but Evan didn’t seem to mind that. In addition, it was about 110 degrees outside that day so the fondant was not cooperating. I now have so much more respect for cake decorators that churn out 15 cakes each weekend during the height of the summer wedding season. I am quite happy with the flowers on top though. They took about 2 hours in total to make about 8 but I think they are worth the work.
So in all, I am quite happy with my progress in the 3 month cake class. I am kinda glad it is over just because I am sick of making icing each week, but I do miss the people I met during the class. Though I have a feeling we will meet again

Hi, I was looking for instructions on fondant roses and somehow I ended up here… nice cake, I loved the roses! Maybe you can give me some tips… I am new to this whole cake decorating thing, I’ve taken course 1 but I went ahead and started making fondant flowers.. they look good and I’m thinking of making a cake iced with buttercream and placing the roses on top, for a birthday party this weekend. One question: how do you place them sort of tilted in the middle like that? Any tips? Any help will be greatly appreciated! My e-mail is deamgabe@yahoo.com
Thanks and congrats on your beautiful cake!
