Not sure whether you have what it takes to decorate a cake with flair? Check out some photos of Elsa’s first class at Citrus College (October 2006) and find out for yourself! This is Course 1 of the Wilton Method, and this is the only method of cake decorating taught at the college.
The first step in cake decorating is knowing how to make your own icing. Elsa’s instructions ensure that students can prepare and recognize proper icing consistency, and she will even teach students the right way to fill an icing bag. Elsa demonstrates each step thoroughly, from mixing the icing to piping perfect buttercream roses.
Lessons in frosting and smoothing a cake comes next, and finally students use their Wilton kits, which are bought in advance of the second class, to decorate their own frosted cakes. You will have the knowledge and confidence to create beautiful decorations. You also have the option of continuing on with the Wilton Method Course 2.
Please note that cakes are baked and frosted before they are brought to class to be decorated! This is not a cake baking class.
Classes start in January, so don’t wait — enroll today!
