I love taking classes to build on what they taught me. So when I saw that there was a fondant class at The Cook’s Station led by the pastry chef from Table 301 Catering
I’ve been wanting to try out some of the Wilton classes for a long, long time so I finally jumped on Amazon and ordered the Wilton Decorating Basics kit.
