Wilton Course 1, Class 3

Ahh, the clown cake. I realize that I have great difficulty keep my tip straight up and down and as a result, my clown looks a little drunk. HA. My cake is kind of a mish mash of all the different techniques we learned last night - of course the clown, two different types of drop flowers, dots, and the shell border (oh and writing, since we learned that last week but I didn’t use it on last week’s cake). I wish I had more of a creative mind - the cakes that a couple of women made were just beautiful! I’ll have to work on that. Or just buy a book of ideas ;-)

Some more pictures:

  3. I don’t know why you’re complaining about your flowers, these look great!

    And I wouldn’t worry too much about the clown. They freak me out anyway.

  4. Awesome cake! I love the pastel colors. Makes your clown look less menacing. I am not a clown person. haha. Purdy flowers. Keep on caking!

  5. Don’t worry about being too creative right now Chelle. I would just recommend to get down the techniques and then creativity comes naturally after you learn more things. I was definitely not very creative at the beginning, but it gets easier the longer you do it! Great job on your piping though!

  8. Nice drop flowers. I hate the things. They are supposed to be so easy but I never like the way mine look. The creative ideas will come as you gain skills and confidence!

  9. I think your clown looks great! We didnt have to do the clown on night 3 - we did cupcakes instead. Your shell border is lovely and even! Can’t wait to see your night 4 cake
