Cake Decorating

My older daughter persuaded me to go to cake decorating class with her. After only 3 classes we are able to create roses and leaves and are well on the way to creating arum lilies.
In the first class we puchased cutters and wire etc and were shown how to cut out and put together buds, small roses and larger roses. We are creating a bouquet to decorate our fruit cake in week five. So far we are amazed at our progress and I believe we could confidently decorate even a wedding cake by the end of this course.
Here are some photos – we made the white mexican paste rosebuds first then put petals on and then coloured them. The colours are soft peach and soft pink however as we excitedly squeezed our food colouring into our jars for dipping the nozzle spurted out and we added lots of colour as you can see. We didn’t mind however as the roses turned out well and they are our first pratice ones, they are edible and bright. Looks like roses on the christmas cakes this year for a change.
