Last night was my third Wilton class., which is all about the Wilton rose. The Wilton rose is actually pretty easy…once you get someone to demonstrate it to you. Earlier this year I studied YouTube videos and the Wilton course books to learn the rose to put on my parent’s anniversary cake, and it didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. Oh, and I’m sorry the rose are in white – I know they’re kind of hard to see! I didn’t even think about it until I started to take photos of them. The yellow frosting is leftover from my sister’s Belle cake.

We also learned how to do the shell border, which is the border used on 99% of the cakes out there. It was also very simple – a lot easier than when I tried to do it for Hubby’s penguin cake in January. We learned figure piping, which I don’t have a picture of, but is what you would use to make the clown cake.

And I can’t forget about the drop flowers. These are SO cute and SO, SO easy! I made these for Stacey’s cow cake I made, and they are too adorable!

Next week is the final course.We’ll be learning leaves, stems, sweet peas, and bows. I’ll actually color my roses for next week’s class so y’all can see the detail in them!
