Amateur cake decorators
Information
This is for cake decorators that are just starting off. I see a lot of professionals but I want to know about those that haven't got to that point yet. From the looks of my cakes I still have a long way to go. Can anyone relate.

I took my first Wilton class in October and am now addicted. I love "caking" and snice I lost my job as a cookie decorator with a franchise I now have time to practice. I'm doing my first cakes for sale this weekend. My girlfriend ordered them for her granddaughters birthday and her husband for valentines day. So excited.

I have been a cake decorator for a big supermarket chain for the last 10 years. It was all pretty much the same stuff over and over. I can airbrush and do roses, but I would love to learn to make flowers with gumpaste and fondant. planning on taking classes next month. If anyone has any advice in the meantime, I am open for suggestions. Thanks!!!!!

I just taught myself how to do a rose!!! I can't believe it I guess I never really took the time to try and learn out to actually make one. I'm not great but I'm working on it.

I'm not sure what the wilton one is, but I think Meriwhite is the same as meringue powder. it is used instead of egg whites...
