i threw this together quick after my wilton III class- i just had to try fondant. bow turned out pretty good for a first time, and i've learned to wait until bc has fully crusted before trying to paint it- the red on the roses kind of got wet and didn't look quite how i wanted. coconut cake with pineapple

i painted petal dust onto the bc roses- i wish i had waited til they stiffened up a little more- it got a little clumpy-live and learn

it was a 2 layer 6inch cake plus an extra 1/2 layer and each layer was torted and filled, so at least 5 inches. i was experimenting with heights, and flavors

Beautiful cake. I love the way your roses turned out. And the tulle and hearts just add to the beauty of your cake.

wendoger- i'm in the middle of course III, so far i really enjoy them, i hadn't ever really done royal icing flowers, or fondant, so it's really helpful to have a person to show you how to do something, versus just reading it out of a book. we changed the order of our classes, so next week we're covering the cake with fondant, so we'll see how i do- i think i'll just make a batch of mmf, vs buying wiltons veery expensive stuff
