Welcome to The Wilton Method of Cake Decorating - Course 3: Gum
Paste and Fondant. This course will open a new world of decorating
possibilities for your cakes. You're about to create incredible
stand-up decorations by hand - from flowers with delicate ruffled layers
of petals, to thrilling bows in bold colors, to exciting effects, like
multi-colored inlays. As your Wilton Method Instructor, I will help you
take
the correct approach to each decorating task to ensure your success, and
show you foolproof ways to roll, cut and tint gum paste and fondant.
You'll apply basic shaping techniques to create a breathtaking array of
flowers, such as mums, carnations, roses, and daisies. 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.
If
you have any questions about Course 3 - Gum Paste and Fondant, I am here to
