No more classes :(

Well, I am sad. I have no more classes to take to learn new techniques. Maybe I'll have to search around the web to see if Calgary has others at a different location.
My final class had lessons in Fondant and Gum Paste. There are some pretty intricate flowers that can be made using gum paste. It was definitely worth taking the course to expand my flower abilities.
The final project cake is done using fondant to cover the cake, a mix of fondant and gum paste for the ribbon border and the twisted garland, and all the flowers are made with gum paste.

As November approaches, I am almost nervous. I already have orders for five cakes, which is awesome but more than I've done before. I better get planning!!

Course 3 is done! Now on to Fondant

I did it! I made a very pretty, but somewhat subtle two tiered wedding cake for the 3rd course in the series of Wilton courses that I am attending.
I was very happy with the results of my final project. Especially the flowers. My instructor told me that she had never seen anyone do Morning Glories on the final cake because they are too time consuming. I totally agree. It takes almost 5 minutes per flower to make those things. But the end result is beautiful, so it was worth it to me.

I am registered for the Fondant and Gum paste course that is offered in October, so keep an eye out for any updates on how that one goes.
Maybe, just maybe I will see if Wilton wants to hire me as one of their instructors once I have completed all their courses. I hear they are hiring, and who wouldn't want to earn extra money while doing something they love?!
