Rose Cake-Wilton Course One

This is a Cake from the last class of Wilton Course One. The gole was to make a cake with buttercream roses on it. I striped the piping bag filled with icing dyed with the wilton color violet with a burgandy stripe. The inside cake was the best i've made so far according to my husband. the cake was a strawberry box cake mix with a few items added to extend the volume with a whipped chocolate ganache filling. It was soooooo good. It tasted like neapolotin ice cream. I will definately be making this one again.

I'm taking the basic course 1 at Michaels and the only roses we are going to learn are the ribbon rose and that's the last class, which is tomorrow. However in the kit with the learning plastic piping practicing, the sheets have the wilton rose. Don't understand if we only get to learn the ribbon rose, and its the last class, how do we ever get to learn/be shown it?

@picantesworld77 That is a bummer:( I see this was written yesterday...so you prob have had your class by now. I would try and ask the instructor if you take the second course, to show you how. You can also watch a few videos on youtube. Were you planning on taking the second course?

by far, this is the best cake wilton course 1 cake on youtube! How did you do the edges of the rose flower in that different color?

[audg714]

@davidelij Thank you! That is a great compliment :) I changed the edge of the flower by adding color to the bag. Prepare a piping bag as normal with a coupler and tip. Use a small paintbrush and dip it into the color gel you want. The same color gel you use to color the icing. Take the paintbrush filled with color and starting at the very tip paint a line up the inside of the bag. Add what ever color icing you want to compliment the color gel you used and fill bag as normal. Pipe away! :)

@135Anju I cannot explain how to make the rose by words :( Serch buttercream rose in youtube and you will come up with lots of videos that show you how to make the rose. Hope this helps :)

@picantesworld77 Hi audg714, yes I did. lol. I did ask the instructor, and she said they use the same sheets for course 2, that's why they are in there. She teaches the 2nd one, which won't be offered until March. So, I signed up for the gum paste flowers (Course 4) in the meantime, which starts next Monday. It's her first time teach it. She's really good. I really enjoyed the course. I learned a lot.
