Yeah, the Wilton Course 2 is more practicing flowers than anything. That's what we have done. Next class will be just in June and we will be finishing this course with a cake with all the flowers we've made.
Oh, and it's Royal Icing!! I loooooove it! It holds so much better than buttercream and after the flowers are dry, we can just put them into a container all together with no worries about breaking them. I just love it!! I just haven't have the brave enough to eat 1 of them, just because they look so nice!
This was the cake I made for my husband's Birthday barbecue. It's a Brazilian recipe called pao-de-lo and again, I think it's the same as Angel cake, filled with bicho-de-pe which I already explained what is in another post, then I covered with chocolate ganache, but I didn't get the shiny one and the consistency I wanted. I have to try again. The first picture has the real colors, the second one was taken with another camera and didn't get to fix it.
And this is strawberry covered with brown brigadeiro and chocolate sprinkles. I used to eat those a lot during my years in the University. The coffe shop there used to sell them and they were reaaaaally famous!
