Wilton Cake Decorating Class

This first lesson we decorated a clown cake. We learned the basketweave line (in pink down the side), the squiggle across the top (in yellow using a star tip), the star, the shell (the bottom border in yellow) and how to construct the body, arms and legs of a clown. It was so much fun and turned out better than I expected. Next time I'll use a thin crumb coat to ice the cake before adding the actual thick layer of icing. This will help prevent the crumbs from being distributed throughout the cake icing.
