I am starting course 2 today.....
i normally use dawns bc... but i hear we save the flowers til the end of the class... does this mean i cannot use dawns, due to the butter in it?
I can just use wiltons then lol

thanks

In my course two class we used Royal Icing for the flowers on the end cake, not buttercream. Not sure if your class is different or not.

Hope that helps.
Mixee

thats odd.... the class paper says class buttercream icing.......
and the ingrediants is
1lb pow. sugar
1 tbsp meringue powder
1cup solid vegetable shortening
2 tbsp water
1tsp clear vanilla....

You do use buttercream the first night and throw away those flowers. You start using the royal icing next week and save those for the last class. I just finished course 2. It was a great class!! Have fun.

all of the flowers in 2 are very easy to learn. Most of what you do will have templates to follow. You will not have any problems. Oh and you do a rose in course 2, Victorian rose. Same idea you just use a different tip, 97. It is my fav. rose tip anyway.

I still have some of the flowers from course 2, they do last forever, but I don't think they taste too good. You'll really like course 2.

woo hooo!! thanks you guys! i cant wait!!

momof3,

There is a victorian rose in course 2, but I like making it much better than I do the wilton rose. I really think that you will enjoy course 2. Good luck.

I found most of the flowers in course 2 to be pretty easy except that darn victorian rose. I just can't make buttercream roses. I started course 3 last week and we made the fondant rose last night. Now that rose, I can make!! I have to say that the mum in course 2 is a flower I will probably never make again. Too much effort for very small effect I think. Hope you enjoyed the first class!

I agree with Sweeterbug1977, I can make the victorian rose but the other one I never could!!!
