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!
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?

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!
