The grand finale cake
I did a lot of baking this week but failed to take any pictures of it before the items were consumed. However, I did get a picture of my grand finale cake from the Wilton Cake Class Level II. For those of you who know these techniques, you'll easily spot a lot of flaws, but for my first try at a more elaborate cake and considering the fact that I've always been a rather artistically challenged person, I was happy with the results.

Wow!! Great job. I would love to take a class like this. Where in the world would I begin my search for a class in my area, any ideas?
My dh actually is a great cake/cookie decorator, we have thought of doing something like this together.
It looks very good and to me, it looks like a professional did it. Are you taking it somewhere special or just going to share it with your family (which is special too)
What a beautiful cake. You did such a great job. Way to go. clare
Beautiful! Who's been consuming all of your cakes??
So pretty! I would most definitely buy a cake like this. Love the flowers and the darling birds.
Hey!!!! That looks pretty good to me! What a fine job you did Crystal. It is a VERY pretty cake. My birthday comes in July....will you make me a cake? I'll come over for tea and cake and we can chat about what a lovely cake you made. :-)
P.S. Give me a call soon....kind of lonely over here.
Wow! I've never decorated a cake like that before, but the basket-weave technique looks very difficult! It's such a pretty Spring-like cake. Great job!
Wow!!
That's beautiful, Crystal!
Keep up the great work!
I hope you and your sweet family have a joyous Easter!
How can you say you're artistically challanged?! That's beautiful!

I think it is beautiful! Basket weave can be tricky. I love the bluebirds. Are they cookies?
Crystal,
It is simply gorgeous. You have done an exquisite job on that cake. Blessings!
Lovely! I've paid for cakes that didn't look as nice as this. Hmm, I need a graduation cake next month, wanna run up north and whip one up for me? :>D
Crystal~
Lovely work! I'm no expert, but it looks great to me :-)

Hey, Crystal, the cake looks fantastic. I'd love having a student like you. I wish you lived closer. I think I've mentioned before that I teach the Wilton classes. Keep up the good work, keep taking the classes. I'll look forward to seeing your Course III finale cake and Fondant and Gum Paste finale cake. =D Katie
That is amazing! Especially the woven frosting on the side. Wow!
jWow! looks store bought to me.
Wish I could do that. My daughter is the cake baker in the family.
Nice blog. I'll be back.
Come visit mine. I'm at;
I'm thankful for the thorns
Take care,
Crystal,
What a beautiful job you did! I am artistic, and cannot even do anything near that! It kind of inspires me to sign up for a cake decorating class! Only thing is, I am afraid I would eat the results!
Well done!!
I still remember learning cake icing in a home economics class back in high school.We had one go to get it right.What did mine look like? Don't go there...
Claire
Spectacular!!! Gorgeous!!!! Outstanding!!! Also, I know these techniques and I see no flaws at all! Well done!!! I can't wait to see your first wedding cake! (Be careful, those dowels can be tricky!!)
From a fellow cake decorator...EXCELLENT JOB Crystal!!!!! I'm trying to add as many cake tutorials on my blog as I can.
Keep up the good work!
It looks FANTASTIC, Crystal! Almost too pretty to eat. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Hi Crystal,
My 6yo DS jus walked in while I was viewing your blog and said "hey mom, that looks like a really good cake!" It looks good to me too!
Wow! That cake looks fabulous!!!! Great job!
It looks great Crystal! :)
I like the color flow birds - when I took the second course it was a butterfly and a fence section. They must have changed it since then...
I love the look of the basketweave!
Crystal, well done! It looks pretty and yummy! How fun to learn something new. It makes me want to find a class in my area.
That is so pretty!! You did a great job.
Shari
Very nice, I have done all 4 classes and II was the best, I still use color flow designs a lot.

Hey, don't be so modest! It looks awesome! Your basket weave is pretty good for level 2 and the colours are great!
Crystal! You did a fabulous job!
I know that your family felt extra special eating something so beautiful. Congratulations on a job well done!
Blessings!

I've been away, just got back, wanted to say...Well done. :)
