Buttercream Artistry
Buttercream Carving?!
In this hands-on cake decorating class, students will master advanced techniques to take their cake designs to the next level. The course covers the entire process of creating a professionally decorated cake, starting with filling, stacking, crumb coating, and frosting. A highlight of this class is the Carved Buttercream Technique, where students will use pottery carving tools to create intricate textures and patterns, similar to how these tools are used on clay. By treating the buttercream like a sculpting medium, students will transform the cake's surface into a canvas of artistry, achieving a unique and refined look. In addition to mastering carved buttercream, students will learn to apply gold luster dust accents. This luxurious finishing touch adds shimmering gold details that elevate the overall design. The class will conclude with students perfecting their piping skills, focusing on creating elegant shell and rope borders for a polished, professional finish. *The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the final product.
What You’ll Learn:
- Fill, stack, crumb coat, and frost a cake.
- Sculpt buttercream using pottery tools to create intricate textures and patterns.
