Obtaining Better Baking Results – A Baking Troubleshooting Guide

 

Save the paper inserts & cardboard backs from your Wilton pans & products!  Take a look at them - they contain valuable info, such as how many cups of batter needed, how much icing is needed, etc.  Suggestion: Keep your paper inserts stored in plastic sleeves inside a binder.  To make it easy to locate the one you need, use tabs and sort them by pan type (round, oval, shaped, etc.)

A note about shaped character pans: These pans are for your personal use only.  Please be aware that particular characters (i.e., Tinkerbelle, Lightening McQueen, Barbie, etc.) are copyrighted material - you are not allowed to sell cakes with those images on them without obtaining the proper permission or license from the copyright owner (Disney, Mattel, etc.)

About Your Instructor

 

I absolutely love cake decorating and enjoy teaching this craft to my students!  My goal is to make every class as fun and informative as possible.  I'm an experienced, fully trained Wilton Method Instructor.  I received Wilton's "Rookie of the Year" Award for 2008.  I'm a member of the International Cake Exploration Societe (ICES), a world wide organization dedicated to excellence in the confectionery arts In addition to cake decorating, I also enjoy designing and decorating gingerbread houses, and participate in a local competition during the holidays.

 

I am very excited to be presenting the new "refreshed" Wilton curriculum starting in June.  Please see the Class Descriptions page for more information about these fun and exciting classes!

 

I encourage my students to be creative!  There's so much you can do with the Wilton Method decorating techniques taught in our classes!

 

If you have any questions or feedback about our classes, products, candy making, cookies, cupcakes, etc., please feel free to ask me or send me an Email - I welcome your input and am always happy to help you!
