Welcome to The Wilton Method of Cake Decorating - Course 2: Flowers
and Cake Design. In this course you will gain the skill to design and
decorate incredible bouquets bursting with colorful blooms that make any
celebration unforgettable. Over the next few weeks, you will learn the
essentials for making each flower look like it was just picked from the
garden. You will work with fondant and gum paste as you shape pastel
pansies with pretty ruffled petals and bold button flowers with with fun
imprinted textures. You will also pipe several of the most popular
royal icing flowers, including the famous Wilton Rose with three rows of
elegantly curved petals. As your Wilton Method Instructor, I will help
you take
the correct approach to each decorating task to ensure your success.
You'll also see the importance of practicing the techniques to improve
your skills - the more you practice, the better your decorations will
look. We'll take the time to practice in class, and you can build on
that experience by practicing at home between each class.
