Let's Create This Beautiful Cake Together!

I am so excited for this class because dried florals are trending right now and so are warm, vibrant color palettes! This cake is the perfect marriage of those two trends and I can't wait for you to make it yourself.

Here's what you can look forward to learning:

  • How to fill, stack and coat a perfectly layered cake
  • How to create bold and rich colors
  • How to properly assemble, fill and use a piping bag
  • How to use different tips to create a variety of textured florals
  • How to create dimension and layers in an arrangement
  • How to create the finest and most realistic details


(This is a project-based class focused only on decorating techniques. You will have to prepare layers of cake for the class as well as a batch of buttercream. You may use any cake and buttercream recipe you wish. If you are interested in my recipes, please visit my Recipes course.)
