The finale night was a free for all! We were allowed to make a cake of our choosing - decorating it as we wish. During class, the customers & workers of Michael's voted on a class fave. I was not happy with the outcome of my cake initially... it did NOT come out like I had envisioned. The color scheme was NOT what I was going for. I really wanted an Argyle pattern on the bottom, but it didn't work. There are a ton of imperfections. And my little wire ballies didn't come out like I had hoped. But guess what? I tied for first place! It was shocker. I personally thought my cake looked like a female alien robot wearing a pearl necklace. The other cakes were really very stunning, I definitely should not have won! I had two personal faves of other girls in the class, and I was rooting for them to win. If I had seen them for sale in a bakery, I would buy them in a second! All the students' cakes looked very professional. It was fun and interesting to see everyone's take on cake decorating - seeing everyone's personal vision for their cake. Very cool!
Here are some pictures of my cake:
Anyway, I hope I get the opportunity to make cakes in the future, so that I can keep practicing my decorating and fondant skills and get better!

That is so beautiful.
I stumbled upon your blog on Google reader and I love it.
I was taking the Wilton classes too until a recent car accident put me out of commission for a bit. I had to delay them and I'm picking them back up this fall.
I loving reading your posts and looking forward to everything I'm going to learn.
I think your cake is gorgeous! I would buy it!
LOVE your site!
I love your cake! The color combination of tangerine and pink is awesome. It always reminds me of my daughter, for some reason. : ) It suits her personality.
Great, great job!
I'm in awe of you. I'm scared of fondant.

Wow - that's very impressive! I think you did an inspired design and you definitely deserved to win.

I love the colour scheme, and the pink fondant spiral ribbons are amazing... I wish I knew how to make them!
Great job!! I love the vibrant colors you chose. I finished Wilton I and II but haven't started Wilton III yet. Your cake makes me want to go back and take the class. You're right, the classes are a lot of work but a lot of fun too.
What can anyone say but Beautiful!
