Usually the Wilton courses are seperated into 3 different courses each once a week for 4 classes. Each course is paid for seperately and there are usually promotions running and coupons in the stores mailer. I think the Michaels promotion for March is buy the kit and get the class free. So I was able to find a 50% off coupon for the $25 kit for course 3 and then the course was free. So I only paid $12.50.

You should definitely check into the courses they are so much fun!

I have just finished Wilton's course 2 and had a lot of fun in it, I can't wait to begin course three on Monday!

I haven't taken any other decorating classes so I can't really compare them for you, but I cansay that they will go over all the basics. As a self taught decorator I found the first course somewhat repetitive of what I already knew. You learn how to ice a cake, make borders, roses, gel transfers, star fill, figure piping and writing. I the second course you learn a slew of flowers, color flow, basket weave and rope border.

I haven't taken course 3 yet, but it is working with fondant and some strign work, embrodery and such, you make a two tiered cake in this class, like a wedding cake.

You can look at my photos. All of my class cakes are labeled as such with course number and class number. You make 3 cakes in course 1 and one in course 2. I think you make 2 in course 3.

For the small amount of money they cost I think the classes are worth it. Looking at your cake photos I would say that you will pretty much know everything in the first course, but it's still fun! And you have to take it to progress to the others, which are a lot more fun. I really enjoyed learning all the different flowers!

I have worked some hard jobs in my life, but since being a stay at home dad, HOUSEWORK is by far the hardest, never ending, energy draining job I have ever had....
I commend anyone who does it! people just don't know til they try it.
