For Those That Have Taken The 3 Wilton Cake Courses...
Decorating By happypage Updated 23 Nov 2005 , 2:54am by Lovabledes
the first course covers basic cake baking and decorating, some boarders and the rose
#2 is all royal flowers, boarders, and color flow
#3 is wedding cake/ stacked cake
Thanks Melodyscakes. I'll be taking the first course starting December 6th and I guess I was wondering if they cover fondant, bows, etc. at some point in one of those classes or should I try to find a separate class for that (and if so, should I wait to take all three courses before starting on other classes covering fondant, bows, etc.). Thanks again for any help

Course 3 also covered cornelli lace, sotas, bead boarder, garland, and string work. The royal icing flowers are made with the lily nail and are the poinsetta, Easter lily, morning glory and petunia. You also learned the fondant rose.
Thanks to both of you Whew...even course I seems to cover an awful lot (the class I'll be taking will be on a Tuesday and Thursday for two weeks - two hours each class) condensed to two weeks because of the holidays. Hopefully it will work out okay.

I'm doing this with a class this month and with my classes next month.
A few things that might help you out.... You can always bake and freeze if you don't think you are going to have time to do it between classes. Also instead of making a single batch of icing and dividing it up to the three consistancies every week you can make a full batch of each consistency and then pull out what you need.
I'm taking the first course then next month I'm taking the 2nd course...I am having fun with the classes, a way to relax.....
