My First Formal Cake Decorating Class

In the midst of being busy on the wedding preparation, I did something extra. Come to think of it, why the heck did I choose to do it at this time? Haha! Aren’t wedding preparation busy enough yet?
Yup, the title says it all, just 2 months before my wedding date I was busy attending cake decorating class by Wilton. The class was not expensive (in my opinion) as it was a hands-on class. And also we have a starter kit and lesson plan book to start with. Meaning, you do not have to have any decorating tools prior to this class.The starter kit.
Complete with all the tools and a lesson book.
Since it only will take me 2 hours per week and this course is only a 4 week course, so I decided to sign up with a friend. It’s not a very big class as there were only 8 of us in the class.
Just when I thought 2 hours per week would not take much of my time, I suddenly notice that this is actually a cake decorating class. Meaning, we are requested to bake cakes and bring it to class for decorating session. L So, I will need to spend some time every Friday after work to bake my cake and also to frost it before bringing it to class.
Although its only 2 hours class for 4 days, but to my surprise, I learnt a lot in this décor class. All this while I have a lot of those tools at home but I have no idea it can make a lot more design just by a bit of extra twist & turns.

2^nd class: The 1^st cake that I ever did with a proper frosting. J
On the 3^rd class, the instructor thought us on how to decorate a cupcake.

Why didn’t I think of twisting the piping bag 90 degrees to get the above flower design?


I’m very satisfied with this design. Simple and nice. J
On the 4^th (Last class) we learn to make the famous Wilton rose.

And then we decorate the frosted cake that we prepared with the roses that we did. Erm.. Although it did not look good. But hey, this is my 1^st attempt making those roses. So please excuse my skill. :p
We are also given certs for completing this course. Yeah! I’m graduated from Wilton’s Decorating Basics Class.
