Wilton Worries

So I started the Wilton Basic Cake Deco course and I have to sat I'm rather disappointed, from work go it was all about up selling and "what can we make them purchase from our store today".  There were things I was under the impression we were learning it turns out it was all lovely pictures in the book of things we were not learning! So not sure if I will continue on at this stage, I may just need to find another course and get into that instead.

Rant over!

On a more positive note I have been teaching dance this year and I am having an absolute ball! What a way to start a year, Hopefully fingers crossed I can do my dance exam in August and pass... and then I can focus on the teaching exams :)

I am pleased to say though that coming up this month I am making two cakes:

First cake is a bumblebee cake, three tiers of chocolate cake covered in yellow fondant and decked out with mini bees, that is my donation to the dance schools annual Easter raffle which hopefully will be a lot of fun to do.

Second cake is for my dear dear friend Kelly and her fiance Trav for their engagement party, again three tiers of white choc mud filled with strawberry butter cream and fresh strawberries and decked out with white fondant, red roses and as a special request from the 'bride to be' a candle in a bell jar on top to tie into their romance theme.......CANT WAIT!!

I have attached some pics of a cake I did in the course and some extra things I have just done on the side for fun and self taught practise (which I'm finding is the best way)

Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake
