Hello,
I am taking the Wilton Course 1 in cake decorating at Michaels in June. Can anyone tell me what I can expect to be taught and please share your experiences when you took course one.
I just recently took the course. In my class, and from what I have heard it can depend or your teacher, I was taught how to ice a cake, basic piping techniques (vines, writing, balls etc.) We also learned how to make some flowers (drop flowers, sweet peas and roses) bows, hearts and some other things. I learned a lot of great basics and had some fun. HTH

I took course 1 & 2 from the same teacher and decided to switch for course 3. Believe me, the teacher makes all the difference.
Even though I knew the basics I loved the classes. Have fun!
I want to take the fondant and gum paste course and maybe the tiered cake one. I probably am going to skip course 2, but I am also working with a pastry chef at the moment who is helping me out. Just been waiting to have time to actually take the courses.
I have taken course I and II Really enjoyed them both. My teacher was really laid back so it was great to be able to do what we wanted... I am still debating about taking the third class?
Yup, stsapph pretty much nailed what you learn in Course I. As a Wilton instructor, I can tell you that stsapph got it right. You learn the basics of baking and icing a cake, how to make buttercream, what types of piping bags, all the way through Flower nail roses, shell borders, and drop flowers. It is a fun class!
i took all 4 courses and am planning on taking some more if she offers any more. i definitely think the size of the class makes a difference. the last class i took there were only about 5-6 of us and it was more 1 on 1 and learned alot more. course 1 was jam packed. i still enjoyed it and got lots of motivation and ideas. i think they are worth it especially for the money. i think no matter how many classes you take, practice is essential. hope this helps
i took course 2 and i was very disappointed. i knew more than the teacher.
Course 2 is not my favorite to teach for some reason, it's fun but not my favorite. I struggle with it almost every time.
I know the flowers, I can do them but I am always a nervous wreck when I have to teach Course 2.
I start course 1 this June also!
I have taken a course thru my city's parks and rec department,last year.
It was 8 classes and really enjoyed it. It was all just piping skills and am looking forward to Wilton's to give me more practise(as my piping sucks ) and information on all aspects. Of course a FUN nite out too!

See... I love teaching course II. I am in the middle of one now and can't wait until next week to do pansies, daffodils etc...
I am not fond of the 2nd night of course III. that's the nightmare night!
