WIlton Course 2 Basket Weave Cake

This is the cake from Wilton Course two's last class. During the course of the month we created royal icing flowers and in the final class we learned basket weave and utilized the flowers that we had been making. INstead of using the color flow to make birds I created butterflys instead.

What kind of cake mix did you use or is it from scratch??

your cake looks great. I decorate cakes for a living and have no other training other than the training i recieved on site. I have thought about going to a wilton class but i have seen many of the wilton cakes and im just not impressed. i at the most have 30 mins to produce a cake like that with the entire top covered in roses and mums.

i think there training is a little medicore

@YourDreamGirl01 The training is really subjective to what instructor you get which is a bummer. I was lucky to have an instructor who knew what he was doing. I think something to remember is that even if someone is taught a technique it is not guaranteed they will be good at it. Ex. I was taught soccer but I totally stink at it :) Since you can do a cake like you described you probably are ready for more advanced training. I've been looking into that too. Let me know if you find anything:)

@aditishrotri The butterflies are edible. I used color flow. I have another video where I make a decoration for cupcakes that shows how to do the process. If you watch that video you should be able to duplicate any image you want. :)
