After completing Decorating Basics, Flowers and Cake Design is one of two
additional Wilton Method courses you can choose. In Flowers and Cake Design,
you’ll explore sophisticated ways to bring your cakes and desserts to life!
Your Wilton Method Instructor will teach you to create breathtaking icing
flowers such as pansies, lilies and the famous Wilton Rose. Then, you’ll
discover the secrets of arranging them in a beautifully balanced cake-top
bouquet.
Your amazing flowers will be framed by an impressive boarder treatment or
basketweave design. With the skills you learn here and your ability to make
flowers in advance using gum paste and fondant or royal icing, you can create
beautiful blooms at your convenience, ready to place on any cake.
