Wilton Level 1 Class 1

On June 4, I started the Level 1 Wilton cake decorating class. It would meet every Friday from 6:30 to 8:30pm for four weeks. I had signed up for the class the week prior and was given a list of supplies I would need.

Starting in June, Wilton had redesigned their cake decorating classes. Taking it from four levels down to only three. We were going to be the guinea pigs.

The first decision came when picking out which supplies to get. I could get a box that had all the supplies I would need for Level 1 for $35 or a organizational container that had all the supplies I would need for all three levels for $199. Josh and I flip flopped between the two and finally decided to get the box with just the Level 1 supplies. However, on the way to the checkout I notice a 40% coupon attached to my receipt for paying for the Level 1 class. But it didn't go into affect until the following week. I decided to wait and get the more expensive one later.

The following week I went to get my new container and found out that Michael's was discounting all the Wilton merchandise 25%. So I got the 25% plus the 40% I ended up only paying $94 for the more expensive container. I was extremely proud.

So I came armed to my first class with my container, icing, and 6 flat cookies. The first class pretty much went like this. Welcome to Wilton. blah blah blah. This is how to bake a cake. blah blah blah. This is how to ice a cake. blah blah blah. This is how to put icing in a bag. blah blah blah. This is how to hold the bag. blah blah blah. Finally we get to the part I didn't already know. We used one of the icing tips to create a star. If you put the stars close together they give the cake texture and even decorate a whole cake like Cookie Monster or other character faces pans you've seen.


Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures to from the first week.
