Wilton Fondant and Gum Paste Class 1 & 2

I enrolled in the next cake decorating course, and went to the 1st class last Wednesday.  It was very fun, we covered a cake board (which I think is a silly practice, but whatev), and made a few daisies and leaves.  They were just for practice, and I had forgotten all of my food coloring so I ended up with white and blue leaves and flowers.

The next class was more of the same, we were supposed to make leaves and flowers at home along with a cake to decorate.  During the class we also learned how to make a carnation base, a drape, and a little handkerchief for decorating...all very cute and very fun.  Check out my semi-finished cake below...I didn't have time to finish the bottom ribbon border, and Matt was ready to eat it by the time I got home...so I didn't finish it at home either!
