Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course 1 (Lesson 4)

Our finale cakes!!!!


Cynthia's


Juliet's


Orlanda's


Elaine's


Aida's


Hamida's


Cedric's


Mine!!


I like Elaine's deco.. reminds me of a wedding cake..The colour combination v nice too..

Orlanda's roses are really unique.. white with a tinge of colour at the top..

Hamida's & Juliet's cakes looked as if they're taken from the fridge of some cake shop..

Aida's roses on the cake look real..

Cedric's cake is really cool with the black roses..

and *ahem* I think my cake's really different from the rest.. in a positive way.. haha.. It's kinda kiddish but it embodies almost all the techniques we learnt during the course! the Wilton rose, leaves, clown, flower, shell...

phew! I'm glad it's over.. I think I need a short break from baking...

Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course 1 (Lesson 3)

Clown! Relatively easy to make..


Wilton Flowers:


Top left: Base
Top right: Done by teacher
Bottom left: My first attempt
Bottom right: My second attempt

I think my first attempt is nicer than my second attempt!

We gotta make 5 roses and bring to class on Weds.. I've made 2 so far and they suck.. but I too lazy to re-do them.. Still need to make 3 more AND I gotta bake a cake as well.. my right arm already a bit aching from doing the roses... sigh.. and it's 8plus pm already!!! better start baking the cake now..

Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course 1 (Lessons 1~2)

I've signed up with B-I-Y. Cost fee amounts to $270.

But by the end of the first lesson, I think I spent at least $100 more just to get the additional tools and ingredients required for the class..

Just some of the stuff I bought:


Stuff in Phoon Huat definitely is much cheaper! I could have saved like 10bucks if I bought all my stuff at Phoon Huat instead of B-I-Y! grrrr..

1st lesson - teacher "lecturing" and doing demo..

2nd lesson - hands-on.. we had to bring an iced cake to the class..

I did a chocolate cake.. The instructor taught us how to ice a cake in lesson 1.. So I iced my chocolate cake with yellow frosting..

During lesson 2, we were taught simple piping techniques.

Here's my cake after lesson 2!


The rainbow design is transferred to the cake.. The words are piped by me.. quite ugly lah.. I still haven't get the hang of it..


Close-up on the rainbow.. nice tiny piped stars!


Breakfast for today!

I scrapped off most of the icing when I ate it.. too sweet for me.. I think only kids can take this kind of sweetness..

No cake required for Lesson 3 but we have a final project to do in Lesson 4 which would require us to ice a cake in our own design.. Will post more photos after the last lesson (lesson 4) :)
