The bzzzz bees on spot! |
Hi guys, how are you? Yesterday was the final class for the flower course from Wilton. Again we had to make a cake iced with buttercream and use the techniques that we learned during the course.
I made a carrot cake with raisins frosted and filled with "real" white chocolate buttercream that my dear friend Layla taught me. To decorate I made fondant flowers in three shades, some leaves and three little cute Bees (that I did using the tutorial on the blog: http://chiccookiekits.blogspot.com/). I also used the classic Wilton technique: the "basketweave". I twas pleased with the result..., what do you think?
One important detail: I used this amazing real buttercream (no crisco on it) and it is real light and fluffy but the fondant flowers got a little heavy for the buttercream so they weighed too much and pushed down all the buttercream ... Luckily, I managed to take pictures of the entire cake before going all down! …lol… live and learn right people?
The cake... I guess you guys can see that is starting to collapse here... :( |

Next week begins the Fondant Course! Woohoo! Finally! :)
Happy Baking!!
