My Second Course Cake

It has been a crazy busy week.  I'm beginning to wonder if life will slow down from here on out!  I do have a two week break before I start my third Wilton Cake Decorating Course.


Monday was my last class of my second course.  This last session I learned how to do the basket weave pattern and I decorated my cake with all my finished flowers.  I made way too many flowers, but at least I got the practice and I had many to choose from.

If you have ever wanted to learn how to decorate cakes.  I highly suggest taking the Wilton classes or find a local bakery that offers classes.

Below is my final cake.  The first picture is from the top and the second picture shows the flowers cascading down the side.

I thought I did a pretty good job for my first time doing basket weave.  I feel sorry for the lady who made my wedding cake.  I had four cakes that each had the basket weave.  It is very time consuming but it sure has a beautiful effect.
