The final 4 week class in the Wilton Cake Decorating Series is Course 3- Gum Paste & Fondant. Gum paste and Fondant are actually very different from the icings that we use in the first two classes. I call Fondant play dough for adults because,  it can be treated similar to play dough. You can roll it out and use it to cover a cake, make it into fabulous flowers, or even sculpt and paint it to make all sorts of edible decorations. This is the stuff you see on all the Cake Shows like " Cake Boss" and Ace of Cakes. Click the keep reading link to see  more fabulous cakes!!!

You do need to complete Wilton Course 1- Decorating Basics before you can enroll for Gum Paste & Fondant. Many students find that they love working in Fondant and Gum Paste more than any other medium. The photos today show some fantastic examples  of cakes and flowers done by Michaels of Harbison students.
