This course was my favorite so far. I love working with gum paste and fondant.
Week 1: I learned how to make bow loops and how to assembling a bow. I also made the bases for the Mum, Rose and Carnation.

| The Mum and Rose bases |
You make the bases on thick spaghetti so when the flower is complete you can stick it directly into the cake. Everything is edible.
Week 2: I learned about the basic principles of floral cake design, how to make a Calla Lily, Rosebud, Rose, Carnation, Calyxes and Leaves. I loved making the roses and carnations.

| The color is actually purple but purple doesn't photograph well. I also sprinkled pearl dust on the flower. |
Week 3: I made the Daisy, Mum, eyelet & ruffle borders and the ball border. I also learned how to cover a cake with fondant which came in handy to know since I did that with Katie's birthday cake.
Katie's 3rd birthday cake.
Week 4: I brought an iced cake to class and decorated it there. This is my final cake for course three. I baked two cakes, leveled them and filled with cream cheese frosting. Then covered with fondant and put on the fondant decorations. I love how it turned out and it might just be my favorite cake so far. Well, besides Katie's birthday cake.
