Do Classes have a prerequisite? And why should I take pictures of my cakes?

Absolutely not. All classes that I teach are 

specifically design for that course 
or that class.

You must not be intimidated when signing up for or

 taking my classes. We are 
here to show design ideas and techniques.

 Your creation

 comes from your 
innovative ideas and creativity. I can only

 inspire you to bring out the art 
that you want to display. 

My classes should be fun and informative. 

I am always excited, just as you are to see your

 creations. Also the joy on your 
face sends thousands of messages. This is what we

 strive for in my classes.

Take pictures of all of your work and think of it as 

journal, a portfolio. 
No matter how much you may think the product it is not

 to your standards there is a good 
percentage that there is something on that project

 that you Like and will need 
later. It is just a form of a cook book, some

 recipes you will like others you 
just might skip over but you still have the 

ingredients for all recipes. Giving 
you a choice as to what you may want to do.

Always understand that your artwork, your cake,is 

your work and you should be in 
control of it at all times. I highly suggest never

 letting someone dictate to 
you how your craft or art should be displayed.

 In this instance I would walk away, this is according

 to the situation. I have always my saying

 "Your last cake could possibly be your last cake." 

 Meaning what the consumer

 sees is what they will relate to you, weather is good 

are bad.So I would highly suggest staying in the

 direction of 
good.

This is some information related to me early in my

 career

 and now I am able to share this with you.

No Show/No Call

 No Show/No Call 

I must say that  I write this with much regret,

 but it seems that it is much needed.Lately there has 

been a stream of no call no shows.

It  is common courtesy 

to call someone that is expecting

 you if you are not going to be able to attend. This

 allows everyone to make arrangements to accommodate all

 those who are involved.

 Keep in mind,

 sometimes those involved could perhaps

 be traveling a distance to meet with you. 

Technology has allowed us to do many things in this day

 and age (i. e. a letter being delivered by horse 

and buggy to a simple phone

 call.)Also by not calling you could possibly be 

relinquishing

 your right to make up that particular session. 

IT IS GOOD BUSINESS & IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE 

WITH YOUR INSTRUCTORS & BUSINESS ASSOCIATES.

 I always suggest good business practice because

 you never know who's watching and who you might need later.

 A bad reputation could

 easily lead to a failed business.As for me, you always

 have access to contact me

 with any questions or concerns.

 Good Luck

Wilton Demo/Open House Themed "A Wedding Event" Spring 2012

"The Cake Craftier" Wilton Demo/Open House Themed "A Wedding Event" Spring 2012

Before I start to write the review of my 2012 spring "A Wedding Event"
Review. I would like to thank all of you that came out and participated. Your 
support means the world to me and is greatly appreciated. I would have never 
guessed that this career would bring me the joy it has over the years. 

Now for the review & highlights.

"A Wedding Event" Spring 2012
Chef Eric's Review

Saturday, May 19th 2012
Was my annual "A Wedding Event" at Michael's Arts & Crafts Store in Lancaster, 
California. This 2hr event was held from 1pm-2pm.

As the day started I was highly energized with the excitement to show off so 
many inspired ideas one can gain from using the Wilton Method and their own

 imagination. Many of the 
techniques was used to design and make these unique art pieces come to life. 

As the crowd gathered, the anticipation spread throughout the store . I could 
hear the crowd whispering, "What is he going to do?", "What is going on here 
today?"

Making my way to the demonstration table it was a pleasure to see all of you as 
well as well as my old and new decorators/students. Some took the time to traveled

 two-three hours to attend. 

This demo I decided to try something new, I pulled audience member, Marrissa

(my Chef du Jour) up to join me at the demonstration table to show how fun & easy

 the Wilton techniques can be. 

This turned out to be one of the best things I could have added. We could not 
stop laughing and entertaining everyone. Also it made for a great connection to you, 
the audience.Questions was asked and answers and ideas was given. Those are 
always the makings for an awesome demo. 

Review the behind the scene photographs and enjoy some of

 what was experienced there.

This table was set to show and give ideas as to how easy a Wedding table scape can be

A captivated  audience listened attentively

 Customers was able to join classes for half the regular, that's 50% off the 
regular price of $45.00 and also as an added bonus take 50% off all class kits. 
That would equal in the area of only $40.00. Personally I think that's a great 
deal.

This demo was absolutely astounding and fun,fun,fun. I am so proud of all of 
you.

To sum up the days experience, it was all an event to be remembered and I can't wait

 to see you all at the next grand event.

Tips From: "The Cake Craftier"

                              Why Do You (Wilton Instructors) Use Students Supplies?

Not very often does this question arise in my classes, but I do feel that this is a genuine question and deserves a much valid answer.

As Wilton Method Instructors, and I will try to simplify this as much as I can, we are put into accounts, (i.e Michaels Arts & Crafts Stores), to show students and consumers how to use our products. In our classes we are allowed to use student supplies while demonstrating Wilton's successful techniques. 

Try to keep in mind when taking our classes that Wilton is a very established company and has been delivering their Methods of teachings for 35 years and have broken many records. Meaning that the Wilton Method works.

  You may copy and paste this link for more detail on our 35yrs of teaching:

http://www.wilton.com/blog/index.php/wilton-method-of-cake-decorating-celebrates-35-years/

Instructors are highly trained to convey posture and techniques to the decorator.  We train several times a year and always have access to information between our Wilton supervisors, fellow instructor's, university and much more.

  In our classes we discuss, practice and review techniques. As we are using students supplies it confirms that the decorator/ student can do the same technique  using their own equipment. Think of it as a statement saying( "Yes you can do this too!!! ).

Instructors show and explain the how to's then allows the decorator to a brief practice of that particular technique then  it is always the decorators job to practice at home allowing any questions to be answered at the next meeting. Keeping in mind we are totally different from any of the culinary institutes. That would be like comparing apples to oranges.

  Our system of teaching comes from a curriculum created for and by Wilton's own specially  trained team to create specialized classes to be taught at specific accounts.  Any instructors graciously giving that extra touch is to be commended on their extra efforts, but the Wilton way is the only way in class. Instructors are always on hand to help with your projects.

I do hope this explains a bit more in detail as to how we share our Method with you. Wilton always welcomes your suggestions and as far as I can see all suggestions are reviewed and taken into consideration.  If you feel that this article is unclear please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to continue this discussion with you.
