Here is my first cake from Wilton course 1...it looks alright, although I think I didn't add enough melted chocolate to make the icing. I tried to make the black icing from the brown and ended up with a weird gray brown color. I definitely need practise with the stars. Anyway, thanks soo much for having a look and that there is cake central. I love to read about everyone's experiences on here and learn tips and techniques too.

Thanks all,
Ame

I think is is great! I can't do the stars! Mine always look so uneven! You did a great job - WELCOME!

very cute

Good job! You're bear is really cute!

Very cute, nice work!

You did a nice job on your cake.
Glad you're enjoying the site!
Addictive, isn't it?!

great job. I gave up a long time ago on trying to get black with choc. icing. I use the superblack gel color from americolor much easier.

Great job!! I am just beginning the Wilton 1 course...my instructor only wants us doing the rainbow cake as she feels we wouldn't have the time to decorate a pan cake in class. Did you do the entire decorating job in class? How long did it take you?

Thank you guys! You all make me feel so welcome! Helps us newbies so much to have such support!

Hi Scrapmom,

I baked and iced the sides of the cake (the icing tip made this soooo easy) before going to class and did the stars there. I just finished in the two-hour window. The part that took the longest was making the parchment bags and remembering to put the tip in the bag before the icing *laugh* that only occurred once...But really...making the rainbow took just as much time for the other people (although some brought a simple design in that they chose to put on their cake).

Have fun with your class!

Congrats on your first cake

Your first cake turned out great! You did a very nice job on the teddy bear cake. You are going to be addicted to decorating and this site before you know it!!
