I spent last weekend in a small shop in an industrial area not very far from where I live. I and two other similarly inclined attended Wilton course 4 – Fondant and Gumpaste and learned how to cover and decorate cakes with sugar paste and make decorations from flower and modelling paste. It was a lot of fun and now there’s only one problem – we’re not that big on eating cakes…I’ll have to find reasons to bake some soon though cause I really want to practise and realise a few of my ideas =)

My sample cake, which has all the techniques you have to practise in class on the same cake, the workshop table and some miniature cupcakes I made when I got home just to play with my new toys.

My 'project' cake I made at the end of class 4 and a small box made from fondant with a few extra decorations.
