Wilton Course 1-Class 2

After my second class, I am even more sold on this Wilton thing and LOVING it!  The first class was awesome, so much fun and the instructor was so great.  But it was me, another lady, and 4 9 year olds....not exactly what I was hoping for as I was hoping to meet some people!  But it was still fun.  Since Wednesday's are my regular class, I was SO happy to walk into the class to find 6 adult women!  Two girls are about my age, and then there were three other women in there and everyone was SO fun and very into this class like me.  I LOVE it.  It will be awesome to hang out with these ladies for the next several weeks.

We had to bake a cake to bring to class, and bring two batches of icing, one made thin consistency and one medium.  I called my mom (who already took this class) about a million times trying to figure out if my icing was the correct consistency!  I was happy to find out that they were very close to right on, and that all the other girls also had some icing troubles.

I have to rave about the cake I made...at our local grocery store I found a box cake that was butter pecan flavor...we don't have that in CA so I knew I had to try it.  And boy I am glad I did.  While I was baking, it smelled unbelievable in our house- seriously mouth watering! And it tastes even better.

Ok back to the class. Last night we learned how to tort and fill our cake, and then frost our cake. Because we were limited with time, we only did our "crumb" layer and didn't have time to perfect the frosting.  We also learned how to color our icing properly.  And then we did some dimensional decorating on our cake.  Here is the finished product:

Next week we are going to be making lots of flowers, and icing cupcakes!
