The course so far 🍰

It's alright the course. I'm not the best at it, there are many people in the class who are defiantly better than me. But I'm just a beginner so who even cares! We have so far learnt the skill of piping which is surprising a lot more difficult than it seems! We have learnt how to marzipan our cake and cover it in ready to roll icing. We learnt how to cover our cake board and how to make a plaque. Out teacher taught us how to make roses and a teddy bear 🌹 🐻 (Which I already knew how to do.. Well sort of anyway!) She has taught us how to make cakes on wires and how to use a variety of different cutters for decorating. We have learnt how to make a cake plaque, how to draw a picture on it with royal icing and how to colour it in with piping gel. (I have uploaded a picture of this) I do think mine turned out quite well considering it was my first try. We have competed one assignment, I made a pumpkin cake for mine 🎃 (a picture has been uploaded) it turned out okay I guess. We are currently working on our next assignment which will be a royal iced cake! I let you know how it goes and upload pictures!
