The Rosette Cake Class, through Riverhead Town, was a huge success, being filled to the max +2! Students learned to level, fill, and crumb coat a cake. They learned to color icing, make rosettes, and use the "duo" technique (two colors in a bag). They worked with gum paste and petal dust to make butterflies and flowers.
Great job, everyone!! So fun!
Getting ready for students to arrive
First things first!
Before we started on the cakes, students created flowers and butterflies from gum paste and let them dry
After they dried, students painted with edible petal dust to add color and shine
Now for the cake: First, students learned to level, stack, and crumb coat cakes...
Next: Students could add color to their icing, if they chose. Hmm, which color to pick??
Coloring the icing...
This is a nice color!
Starting to make rosettes!
If you do this at home, make sure your icing is not too soft or the flowers will just drip down the side of the cake! It must be medium to stiff consistency. If it is too runny, add powdered sugar to stiffen. If too stiff, add just a tiny bit of water, a little at a time, until it reaches desired consistency.

Almost there...nice work!!
And now...done! Beautiful!
Great job, ladies!! See you next time!
