Please note: The instructor, class fee and materials fee has changed since the catalogs went to print. And, students must now bring their own cake to decorate.
Learn to decorate a cake like a pro in this hands-on workshop. Start by leveling and frosting your cake. Then practice applying just the right amount of pressure to the decorating bag to pipe flowers, leaves, and other embellishments. Leave with your decorated cake and the skills to make a unique custom confection for your next celebration. Icing and decorating tools are provided. Please note: Bring a single-layer cake (6, 7, or 8 inch round) and a cake carrier or box to transport your finished product, and an apron if you'd like. A $25 materials fee is payable to the instructor in class. Limited to 12.
