Sandra Folsom Biography :

Sandra Folsom has been teaching professional cake decorating classes for over 30 years, 20 of which have been for Wilton Industries. Sandra has promoted the easy and fun techniques of decorating to the general public through her many television appearances including ABC, NBC, FOX news and The Food Network. Sandra's vast knowledge and expertise in decorating has allowed her to participate as a judge in various contests throughtout the years. As Director of The Wilton School, she has introduced more that 150 new classes and helped to attract many of the world's most highly-regarded decorators as instructors. Routinely, culinary experts from around the world come to Woodridge to learn the art and intricacies of cake decorating from Ms. Folsom. She has also been an active member of the International Cake Exploration Society (ICES) since 1981. Internationally, she has shared her expertise with well-known professionals and traveled to Curitiba and Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Bogota, Colombia, Guadalajara, Chihuahua and Mexico City, Mexico and Taipei, Taiwan.

Folsom's education has been from Gum Paste Classes taught by Amy Rohr and Nick Lodge, instructor from England and author of many cake artistry books. Rolled fondant was learned from American cake stylist and author of five books, Colette Peters of New York. Her candy-making and chocolate expertise was gained from attending Elaine Gonzales, author of "Chocolate Artistry" and "The Art of Chocolate" classes. Sandra has also worked with Rose Levy Berenbaum, author of "The Cake Bible".

For ten years she had the opportunity to work side by side with Wesley Wilton, the youngest son of Dewey McKinley Wilton, founder of Wilton Industries. Additionally, classes taken at the American Institute of Baking, College of DuPage and American International Academy of Floral Design have provided baking, candy and floral knowledge plus the curriculum and educational concepts to become a good school director. Sandy's student's describe her as "patient, fun and a great instructor". Owning a bakery, specializing in bread, rolls and of course, decorated cakes with her husband provided much practical experience.

Her creative flair comes from a natural ability and working in Wilton's Creative Dept. on the annual yearbook. Her stint in the Wilton Test Kitchen adds to her problem solving skills to be able to answer any questions that a student may have.
