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 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.
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!
