Final Cake from Wilton Course #2

I managed to overcome my fear of Royal Icing and I actually enjoy working with it now! I have learned Royal Icing flowers and birds, as well as some new Butter Cream techniques.

I'm planning on making some adorable Royal Icing faces for upcoming Birthday cupcakes...

This was my final cake creation from Course 2 Wilton Techniques:

I must say, quite the improvement from my first cake. Sadly, I can't join my friend for Course 3 and 4 (working with Fondant and gum paste) because of my schedule, but maybe she will graciously share some of the lessons with me.

For now I will keep practicing the Royal Icing flowers and the Wilton Roses. They really make anything look good.

I can't wait to start baking and decorating some new creations! Stay tuned.
