It's the 2nd week of the Master Course ~ almost there! I am absolutely exhausted of flowers at the moment. It was an entire day of flower making. How am I going to remember all of this? "Youtube" is a great thing! :)
Today we learned how to make the following flowers with the Royal Icing: Victorian Rose, Wild Rose, Primrose, Daisy, Daffodil, Pansy, and Bachelor Button. I"d say I did "ok" with the flowers - nothing great - need a TON of practice. I fought quite a bit with the Daffodil today. She just wasn't cooperating with me. (hence why I have no photo of that one!)
Here are 2 pics from today:
The top pic is of the "wild rose" (I know, boring white color, but it's just practice) and the bottom is the "daisy" ( I really hope you could at least tell that one was a daisy) They will only get better with practice, right?!
I showed my wedding cake sketch to the instructor and she went along with it. (probably wondering how I'm going to get it done by the end of the week)
I am so happy to be back to my hotel by 4:00 this afternoon - the 2nd class was great last week, but it was just way too much in 1 day. This week there was a fondant class in the evenings which I know would have been great, but it just wasn't going to work. I didn't even bring icing back to the hotel with me today - Needed a night off from flowers!!!
Have a great evening!
Hi Darlene,
ReplyDeleteYou sure are doing great. I can't believe all you are learning. They pack a lot of learning into this two week course. Your flowers are fantastic. I can't wait to see your wedding cake.
You won't believe it.....can you believe my three day turned into a four day again! No wonder I don't like three days - UGH! Happy to be home.
Keep up the good work and keep the coffee brewing!
Happy Decorating,
Mindy
Mindy, they sure do pack it in !!! Just when I think I've learned all there is! :) I've even been working extra in my hotel room in the evenings - I have to keep up! :)
DeleteOh, no - a 4 day - horrible!!!! You're a trooper ~ Hang in there!
My coffee pot is ready for the morning - 3 more days! I miss home!
