Welcome to Course 2 - Flowers and Cake Design

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.
