Wilton Course 3 - Class 4

Today was the last day of my Fondant and Gumpaste course. I had to bring a crumb coated cake so I could lay it with fondant. Guess what?  My fondant didn't crack. Woo hoo.  I'm so happy, and I can't wait for the next cake. 

I have some bad news...Lynda, (my Wilton instructor is leaving), do you all see the tear about to drop? LOL. Her last day was suppose to be the last day in July, but my course 4 won't end until August 2nd so she's sticking around until then. Yippee. 

So without further ado here's my cake...it's freakin' awesome. 

Wilton Course 3 (Gumpaste and Fondant) - First Class!

Sooooo....I'm the only one in my class :-)  :-(   It's a good thing and bad thing.  Good because it's one on one, bad because there's no one to compare my projects to!  Today I made a bow.  I know you're thinking that's it?  Well I forgot my spaghetti so I couldn't do the other flower which I'll do next week.  But it's not just any bow, it's the kind that you would see on top of a gift box.  Lynda showed me how to make another type of bow that I asked about.  I've been having issues with the simple bow where you have a loop on the left and right and it gathers in the middle and have the tails hanging from it.  It sounds simple, but it was an epic fail for me :-(  Well I have to get to my homework so here's today's project.
