Let's make this edible work of art together!

Learn how to create this dramatic, artistic and dimensional design all out of buttercream. Color, texture and arrangement are the key concepts that I will highlight in this course. When you combine all those elements in the right way, it can create incredible results.


In this class you will learn how to:

- Use tools specific to making this design

- Create a stunning range of deep and soft colors

- Build and coat a perfectly layered cake

- Properly assemble a piping bag

- Pipe texturally rich peonies

- Build multi-toned petals

- Add supporting foliage and buds


I can't wait to walk you through all my steps and share all my tips for creating this elegant cake! With the foundations and techniques gained through this course you will be able to create endless designs by just changing the colors and layout.


The class is filled with over 2 hours of instruction and everything is pre-recorded so you can learn at your own pace. You will also get unlimited access to it so you can watch whenever you have time and revisit it as many times as you need.



(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.)
