My third cake - white roses final
My final Wilton clasee cake. 15cm square with Choc butter cream and white butter cream roses. Was just a practise cake but I can see this design working on a better cake / tiered cake.

Wilton cake decorating calsses
Soooo who's done 'em?I'm about to complete Wilton one tonight. Next should I do fondant and sugarpaste, or the fondant and tiers? I'm kinda not sure what the tiered one is going to teach me, that would be better than the fondant and sugarpaste one.Any ideas?See More

Wendy B left a comment for Suzie Toms"Alright almost done! was 90% fun and a couple of times annoyed me. Mainly cos I really need the practise of how to get the fondant smooth, it puckered a bit. The fondant I made did crack a bit and elephant skin. Does this mean I need more glycerine?…"
Wendy B left a comment for Suzie Toms"OK perfect will leave on bench. Thanks for your help. I'll post a pic no matter how crap it looks : ) We have back -up monster cup cakes in mind if all goes terribly wrong, but I'm sure it'll be ok!"
Suzie Toms left a comment for Wendy B"I don't normally put a fondant cake in the fridge - the moisture in the cake tends to seep into the icing and make it all sticky and wet looking. If you are going to fondant the pieces I would do it one or 2 days before the party and keep the…"

- I don't normally put a fondant cake in the fridge - the moisture in the cake tends to seep into the icing and make it all sticky and wet looking. If you are going to fondant the pieces I would do it one or 2 days before the party and keep the cake in a cool dry place (not the fridge) until needed.
