Wilton Cake Class Part 2

This last month I completed step two of one of my life long goals and took another cake decorating class. This was the second Wilton Cake Decorating Course also known as Flowers and Cake Design.  I am one step closer to confidently decorating my children's cakes.

Here are my thoughts on the second course. You can see my review and materials needed for course one here. 

• Spread the courses out over the course of a year. I am burnt out of decorating cakes. It takes a lot of time and resources to get everything together.
• Keep practicing whenever you get the chance.
• Check out videos on youtube to review. I really like Cake Darla.

Here is schedule of the supplies you will need to complete Course 2. I'm still adding things to my cake tackle box when I get a coupon. I highly recommend this box. It fits almost all of my cake decorating supplies inside.
