Baking

Early this year, I started taking Wilton cake decorating classes. (This is before they changed the class structure from 4 classes to 3).  With my work schedule, I was able to take only weekend classes, so I couldn't take class 4 - Fondant and Gum Paste. Still, I learnt a quite a lot, and once in a while, I make cakes for friends' parties & potlucks.

             This is a cake decorated with the first roses (buttercream) I made in the class.

This is my first fondant covered cake. I made a chocolate pound cake from scratch, as I don't like using box cake mixes unless I'm pressed for time.

I also learnt how to make tiered cakes. The cakes are covered with white fondant and decorated with pink/orange fondant roses & leaves. I used red Wilton icing color to get different shades of pink and orange.

 This is the final cake from Wilton cake course II. Flowers are made of royal icing and the basket weave was done with buttercream icing.

Another practice cake covered with yellow buttercream icing.
