Wilton Course 1 Class 4

Damn roses.

I didn't get a picture of my cake this week, but I can say that it was nothing special to look at.  AT ALL.  Our task this week was to build roses and put them on your cake.  We also learned how to make a sweet pea, and some leaves.

Well my roses STUNK.  It was so weird.  The book says 'use stiff icing for roses', but those of us who had stiff icing were having the WORST time making roses that looked pretty.  Only the 7th grader who had soupy icing had beautiful roses - and the teacher admitted it!  She said she didn't understand what the problem was, that the consistency of our icing was correct, but our roses were NOT turning out pretty.  She also tried making roses with our icing and couldn't do it either.

Damn roses.

AND to top it off, I managed to make 4 roses that looked below average and sub par, but I put them on my cake anyways.  Then I put the tupperware thingy back on to go home and smooshed all my damn roses.

Next week, Wilton Fondant and Gum Paste Class 1.  Hopefully we won't have to make any roses.
