Wilton Course 1 Day 4

My final cake at Millys Wilton Course 1 . A rose and confetti cake. Yay, got my certificate.

Wiltons Course 1 Day 3

Day 3 of the Wilton Course 1 we learnt how to make roses. Quite a hard decoration to do!!!! What do you think? Can you tell they are roses? They are slightly overwhelming on top of a cute cupcake but smaller roses would be gorgeous!!!!!

We also learnt how to make lil faces, another border, some star and drop flowers. And this cute clown!! I can just picture the kids faces if they saw these on a party table!!!! The icing would be gone and we would find all the half eaten cupcakes.

I can't wait for next week when we complete a beautiful cake with all we have learnt. Hmmmmmm, maybe not all. Not sure that a clown sitting next to a pretty rose would look too good...........at least the kids AND adults that get to eat it would be happy though!?!?

Birthday cakes

This light, fluffy, moist two tier vanilla cake was made for Fritz's Grandma. I was going through a flower period. Really trying to get my flowers perfected. This vanilla cake was iced with vanilla frosting and the flowers were made with vanilla buttercream. Gel was used for the writing and flower centres.

My nana ordered this for her friend Linda's birthday. I made a two tier chocolate cake with ganache in the centre and covering the cake. The white flowers are made with vanilla buttercream and pink cachous. White chocolate was used for the writing.

First flower cake

After buying the Wilton Student Kit 1 I wanted to try out the flowers so made a few cakes to practice. Above is the first attepmt. Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and buttercream flower spray with cachous centres. I definitely need ALOT more practice!!!!! I can't wait for the course at Millys.

Tyra-Jades fairy 5th birthday cupcakes

My daughter turned 5 in Feb. She had a fairy themed birthday at Chipmunks!! We booked it after hours for her and she had a fairy face painter. It was an awesome night and the fairy was well worth it! Even the adults were lining up to be painted.

I made approx 100 cupcakes for the party (still got complaints there wasn't enough) and a little allergy free cake for my little princess. Tyra-Jade is allergic to dairy, eggs, nuts, wheat, gluten, soy, corn and seafood. Quite a challenge to make her cupcakes as good as ours but she inhales them every time, can't be too bad.

The cupcakes were chocolate (the most requested flavour at the moment) with dark chocolate ganache. I tried making butterflies, fairies etc with chocolate for the decorations. I love it when you see everyone checking out the cupcake art!!!
