Whether you are just beginning your cake decorating journey or looking to refine your skills, this immersive two-day workshop will provide a strong foundation in the art of decorating with buttercream. Students will learn the techniques professional decorators use to create smooth, polished cakes and beautiful piped decorations while gaining the confidence to decorate cakes at home or for special occasions. The class begins with the fundamentals of frosting. Students will learn how to crumb-coat a cake and practice achieving smooth, straight sides and sharp edges using professional frosting techniques. Additional demonstrations and hands-on instruction will then cover proper piping bag handling, tip selection, pressure control, and the mechanics behind creating clean, consistent designs. As skills develop, students will learn a variety of decorative piping techniques, including borders, shells, rosettes, ruffles, leaves, drop flowers, writing, and elegant floral accents. By the end of the workshop, each student will complete several decorated practice pieces and finish beautifully decorated cakes to take home. Individual guidance will be provided throughout the weekend, making this class appropriate for beginners as well as decorators looking to improve their buttercream finishing and piping techniques.
