Last session for our Wilton Course 1 is all about buttercream roses.

Since it’s our last day we were also asked to bring our final cake which we get to do final design in the class.

I had a hard time getting the roses done the Wilton way, it took me more or less 10 tries to get an acceptable rose. For the class I bought 2 kinds of buttercream – store bought and homemade, the obvious difference between them is the store bought ones have smooth petal edges while the other is not.

 

On to a my final cake, I bought a 4 layer 8″ cake in it’s final iced stage to school. I initially planned to make buttercream flowers a week before class but was not able to even make one. I piped leaves as top cake border and placed the roses I made during class, ran out of time to make more flowers to make it look like a bouquet cake. Anyway, I’m still happy how my cake turned out.

Yehey! I finally completed Wilton Course 1, photo with Ms. A

Happy graduates with our cakes.
