Final Cake Class: Fondant and Gum Paste

In the final Wilton Cake III: Gum Paste and Fondant class, we learned how to cover our cake with fondant and how to make borders. Then we spent the rest of our class decorating our final cake. I must say, I wasn’t  quite as concerned about my final cake as I should have been, seeing that I have six cakes to make this month (that are paying cakes. ), but I still think it turned out ok. Not my fave, by no means, but ok. Teachers pet cake was AMAZING! It inspired me and I am going to be using one of her techniques on an upcoming cake of mine!

So this past week I made my first “official” cake for someone since doing my cake class! I had so much fun with it! It was my aunt’s 50th birthday and I wanted to do something special for her, so this was my gift. She loved it! I can’t wait to do more!

This was before I added the bottom tag

With the added tag..."Better than under it"

I am so glad that I took the Wilton Cake Basics class! I thoroughly enjoy decorating cakes and would LOVE to have my own bakery one day! I guess this is the first steps, huh?
