i am already selling. just got a call for an order that i have to have done by noon tomorrow. that is in the persons hands....lol. its an 8 inch round cake very simple and charging $20 for it. where are you taking your classes if you dont mind me asking.
I will finish my last class of course 3. I started taking them because my grandaughter wanted to take them and she is only 14 so she need a adult to take it with her. But the funny thing is I have loved it and how we are making and selling cakes together. You will have fun
My 16 year old daughter and I have gone through Wilton 1 and 2 and are having SUCH a blast! Course 3, here we come! I don't sell my cakes. Just make them for friends and family. Now my daughter is taking THAT away from me. She's making her own birthday cake as I type! 
Oh well, she's doing such a great job at this. She's a natural. Good luck in your class! 
I just finished Course 1 tonight! It was so much fun and went by so fast! Have fun and practice as MUCH as possible!
Cake decorating is such fun!!! I've been decorating cakes for years and I still get the same kick out of it as when I finished my very first cake! Happy decorating !!!!!!!!!! 
Hey guys , Well the first class was a lot of fun,but I didnt realize that I would be making and taking a cake to next Saturdays class. The time goes by quickly too. I am going to do the Rainbow cake I feel confident that I can do it. I am going to start tommorrow getting everything together for the next class. I will check back in on Saturday . Thanks for all the support . Thats why I love this site too everyone is always willing to help,share a recipe or advice . 
Hi Jackie, I am approaching my final week of Course 1 - I have had so much fun and cannot wait to start course 2.
I did the rainbow cake as well for my first project (see pic for inspiration!)
Its alot easier that you think.
I work full time and long hours, so I was freaking about finding time to get my cake projects done...but the good news is you can make your cake and frosting ahead of time (use water in the frosting instead of milk, it will last longer)
I cant wait to see your picture!!

Hi Caryn,
Your rainbow cake is great. I know how you feel about being excited for the next class to start. I took them all in a room and at the end of the third month I had to go through the let down of no more classes...boohoo
Wanted to pass along this tip. After classes 2 and 3 of Course 2, you will come home with lots of extra royal icing. Spend an hour or two making up as many pansies, voilets, leaves, etc. In the morning they will be dry and you can throw them into tupperwares. They keep for a long time and make your sheet cakes so cute when you use them as filler flowers next to the roses.
Just sharing ideas.
Have fun in your class.

i started course 1 tonight.. Although we only watched, I had a blast. turns out that the teacher is the secretary at my daughters school! How cool is that?
She gave alot of great tips and even put butter in the buttercream. LOL
chocomama - you can put royal icing flowers in a covered container once they dry. You don't want to put them in one and seal it while htey are wet though. I've had several students find out the hard way that if you don't let the flowers air dry in the open that they will either just dry on the top and are still wet underneath or worse they don't dry at all and you don' thave them for the final cake for Course 2 or 3.
Those were great tips, thanks for sharing!!
I plan on going home tonight to practice my roses. After the 3rd week I managed to get one really good rose (i still have it saved in my fridge, lol) Tonight I want to perfect it, so for the final week I will have lots!
