This week was the time to tackle roses. Ha! This week was more like the week that we barely finished our cakes because we trashed the first fifty flowers. I figured roses would be hard, but not as hard as they actually were. Oh and the way they teach now....NOT easier. Well before I go on, here is the final picture of Wilton Level 1.
Ok, now I'm not sure what you think about the photo, the detail didn't come out all that well. But I learned something else this week; lack of AC is not conducive to beautiful roses. I did have some nice looking roses, but they sat too long off the cake and when I attempted to move them on to the cake they ended up looking like, well a deformed eye with many many layers. I'll attempt pictures throughout the classes in the future for further enjoyment.
So next week we have a break, but then comes the flowers, lots and lots of flowers! I'll be sure to post a bunch of pictures of the different types of flowers.
So until then, Happy Cooking!
Orders will be taken on a first come, first serve basis :) Haha!
It's beautiful! Your roses don't look as made as you make them seem. Keep practicing - you'll get better every time! One word of experience (sounds like you've already figured this out though) - NC summer is heck for making roses - the humidity and heat are miserable! Keep having fun with it - I'm excited to see what you do in the next course!
