Wilton Fondant and Gum Paste Final Cake

April 25, 2008 · 15 Comments

I cannot contain my excitement any longer, must post this before I go to bed :P
This is my final cake for my Wilton cake deco class series. The baby booties were made using fondant & gum paste mix and I found a template online. This was not taught in class. I will share the instructions hereĀ  tomorrow. The green flowers were “modified” daisies, and they were meant to be mums. The cake is made from scratch this time, and it’s called Hummingbird cake.

This cake will be so darn cute for a baby shower or “full moon”!

Will also post full review of the Wilton classes on my blog in near future (this Saturday) :D

Wilton Course 3: Fondant Cake and Rose

March 13, 2008 · 10 Comments

I had been looking forward to this class for a long time. I have heard a lot about working with fondant, and how it tastes like. It was a jam-packed class, with so much to learn in 2 hours. I’ve made the marble cake on Monday which was lightly iced and I had decided that the fondant should be in “Tiffany” blue. The colour came out nicely, and then we had to make the bow. I was going to just plain white with the whole “Tiffany” theme but decided to go with canary yellow instead. So here’s my first fondant cake, whereby the “Tiffany” blue looks more like robin’s egg’s blue. I love it so much. As for the bead buttercream border, that didn’t go too well. I had invisioned them to be perfectly oval to be consistent with the whole Easter theme but obviously my skills are not quite there yet.
We also learned to make our first fondant rose, which I’m extremely proud off. I have a hard time making my roses with buttercream and royal icing, so this turned out to be much better!
