A Note from the Instructor...

 

I created this website as a supplement to my classes, to help my current students with their classes, and to keep everyone informed of what classes are coming up at Jo-Ann's. Wilton classes are an excellent way to get into the fun and rewarding world of cake decorating.

 

I'm a fully trained Wilton Method Instructor, and have been proudly teaching the Wilton Method of cake decorating for five years.  I was honored with Wilton's "Rookie of the Year" Award in 2008.  I have taught about 900 students to date, and counting!  I'm a member of the International Cake Exploration Societe (ICES), a world wide organization dedicated to excellence in the confectionery arts

 

Some of my personal decorating accomplishments include taking third place in the professional category of a local cupcake decorating challenge, and honorable mention in a gingerbread house competition.  In addition to cake decorating, I also enjoy desktop publishing and website design as another creative outlet.

 

I'm an independent contractor teaching the Wilton Method of cake decorating, and as such I am speaking for myself and not on behalf of Wilton or Jo-Ann's.  Any opinions and comments on this website are strictly my own.

 

If you have any questions or feedback about Wilton classes, products, cake pops, 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!

 

 

Change of E-Mail Address?

 

Have you changed your Email address recently?  I send an Email to current and former students once or twice a month to inform everyone about tuition sales and upcoming or new classes. Click here to Email Sue with your new Email address or indicate if you wish to be removed from the mailing list.

 

 

Feedback Welcome!

I want all my students to have the best Wilton class experience possible, and your feedback is welcome!  If there's anything you would like to tell me about a class - what you liked, what you didn't like, anything you would like to see added to future classes, something you think I should add to my website that would be helpful, anything you want me to pass along to Wilton - please Email me, mention the class you're referring to (Course 1, 2, 3 or 4) and your feedback.

Bad Weather Reminder

 

Never just assume a class is postponed due to weather.  If severe weather drastically reduces traffic safety on the day of class, you will be notified via Email and phone call if a class needs to be postponed.  A notice will be posted here on the website.  If you are unsure, please feel free to Email Sue or call Jo-Ann's the day of class.  Any classes postponed due to inclement weather will be re-scheduled as soon as possible.

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.)  If you've misplaced yours, you may be able to find it on Wilton's Shaped pan instruction search

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.)
