Okay, so I just finished Witons Course 1 tonight. Here is a pic of my final cake. I didn't really like my roses, the icing was really stiff and the edges kept breaking and I kept acidentally pushing the rose off the flower nail. So I need to practice them a little more. But Overall I liked how my cake came out. I would love to hear some feedback from all the Cake Central people!

wow! it looks great. i wish my wilton1 final cake looked this good your shell border is very consistant. excellent job! ;D

I would never have guessed it was your first. NICE!

I have trouble with my roses pushing off too. Not sure why that is... but that's ok! I think your roses are great!

Very nice! Good job for your first final!

i think it looks great!

Thank you for your kind comments! I had so much fun with this cake. Our instructor really let us roll with our design, which obviouslly deviated from the normal bunch of roses with a bow. I can't wait to start course 2, starts a week from tomorrow!

I like your cake and the contrast of the colors, its very pretty. Sounds like you had a good instructor.

Great job! I love the color of the roses!

Great work! You should be proud of yourself!

Wow! Looks great and so yummy! Is that chocolate buttercream? It is sooooo smooth it looks like fondant! And your roses look great too! I love the color combo! Great job!!

I too had a problem with broken rose edges. In an earlier forum somone mentioned adding a bit of piping gel to stiff buttercream to help with this common problem. I haven't tried it yet, but I need to because i REALLY need to practice those roses.

I think it looks great! I almost purchased the exact same course today too.

I love it! Very original! Color scheme is great. I have found that by combining medium consistency and stiff, you usually have a good rose making icing. If you plan on taking course 2, I find royal icing is easier to pipe and roses come out nicer.

I do my final cake for course 1 tomorrow night. Yours is soo beautiful. I can't get the rose thing. My break all the time too! Well if my turns out I might post it. I love cake decorating

Your cake is very pretty. Keep up the good work!

It looks very elegant! (and yummy) Great Job!

P.S. you will love course 2.....you learn LOTS of flowers!

You cake is beautiful! I take my last class in course 1 tomorrow and I am so excited to work on my roses. I have to practice them tonight. great job and the color combination is just wonderful!

Beautiful. I love the colors. Very warm. You did a great job!

..beautiful cake! I love the color combination too!
