I am THOROUGHLY enjoying my Wilton Cake Decorating classes.   I finished Course 2 this week and will begin Course 3 next week – working with fondant {rubbing hands together with glee}.

Unlike Course 1 where we made a cake each week – and yes, the twins and I ate said cake each week (hubby and Jay don't like cake, I really don't GET that), over the first few weeks of Course 2 we learned how to make butterflies, birds and flowers using royal icing.  At our final class we brought a cake along and after learning how to make a basket weave pattern around our cake, we adorned our 'baskets' with a little of what we had made in the previous classes.
