Course 2 consists of building royal icing flowers and colorflow birds. On the last night of the class, we bring in a cake and learn to apply the basketweave technique. We learned to surround the bottom of the cake in a rope design. I trimmed the top of my cake with reverse shells (kind of). Then we applied the royal icing flowers and birds to the cake. My colors were brighter than I would have preferred. In fact, they reminded me of cakes I used to get from K-Mart.
