After so many things happening between the last 'official' cake decorating class that Ashley and I took and now, we are finally able to take the final class that Wilton offers for cake decorating - 'Fondant and Gum Paste'. Lesson #1 was a quick replay of previous lessons after which we learned the process of covering a cake base with fondant. Lesson #2 was using that covered cake base, adding fondant to the cake we brought and using gum paste to make this drape and some simple flowers. This is the completed practice cake that I made for that class. I missed Lesson #3 in lieu of making the cupcake 'pops' for my Keno group (see 'A request for cupcakes' below), but Ashley assures me that I can catch up and be ready for Lesson #4. Stay tuned for our final graduation cake using all the techniques that this class has taught us.
I am a mom of 2, a grandmom of 7, a daughter, a niece, a big sister, a cousin and a friend to many. I love to cook and my newest passion has become baking and decorating cakes. I also love to travel. I get to do more cooking than traveling but have included some of both here along with lots of other stuff. This blog is about sharing some of the things I do and those that I do it with with family and friends. I appreciate you checking in and hope you will feel free to share your comments with me.
