Final Course One Cake Decorating Class

Final decorating class, sad face, I've learned so much and can't wait for course 2. First, we practiced writing. I think I'm always going to have to use a template to ensure even spacing, same size, and writing straight across the cake. Next was the ribbon rose. I'm not sure I like the ribbon rose over the regular rose, looks a tad fake. The ribbon rose is difficult, but i think with practice it can be mastered quickly. It requires a stiffer frosting and mine was closer to a medium consistency. The class ended with us working on our final cake. I'm indifferent about my final product. The ribbon roses need some work, as does my writing. If more time was available I would have like to add some more roses to the left side of the cake. Overall, for being rushed and a perfectionist, it's an excellent cake. Miata Guy's coworkers loved the decorations as well as the taste!
