Hubby and I just wrapped up our course 2 class last night. The first course we had to bring in baked cake, or cupcakes each time. This time we only had to do a cake for our final night. The primary method being taught is making flowers from royal icing. I found it much easier to do the flowers this way rather then the buttercream method taught in the first course. I still can't get the stinkin' roses correct but I think that has to do with the arthritis I have in my fingers. I can't sping the nail fast enought... Oh well. We've signed up for the next course, fondant and tier cakes, which begins next monday. We will be learning how to make a rose using the fondant and I think I will be more effective in doing them this way. We still had a bunch of buttercream frosting from the first course so used that up rather than making new colors. My cake is the one posted above - the basket. Hubby's is down below. He was following this design from the book that showed making a woven carriage.
