Wilton Basics Lesson 4 - Final cake!

So it was my final lesson on Sunday, there was an awful lot of prep in advance, more icing sugar than I ever want to see again and exhausting.  Totally worthwhile though.
Royal icing drop flowers with silver balls

More drop flowers

Rosettes in royal icing

Royal icing stars

Buttercream icing for making butter cream flowers

Thin buttercream icing for covering the cake

My gorgeous lemon cakes

Levelled and filled with buttercream and a lemon flavoured sugar syrup.

In the fridge with the first coating of icing.

Tidied up and second layer added.  Hot palette knife is magic!


Final smooth version

We thoroughly enjoyed our Wilton Basics course, I want to do the fondant and gumpaste one now.
