Wilton Course I, Lesson 4

Tonight was our final Wilton, Course I class. We had to bring in another cake, frosted. I changed things up a bit by using almond extract and 8 inch pans. It came out the flattest of any cake I have made. I also was REALLY happy with my icing consistency and thought the colors were cool.

After practicing sweet peas, leaves, and roses in class, I left with a final product!

A close-up of my roses; my frosting was a SMIDGE too soft and I placed them too far apart, hence the overwhelming amount of leaves. Hey, at least I got to practice, right?
