Modern Wedding Cakes (5 Days)

This is the most often demanded cake class by our students – an intensive modern wedding cake course. During this cake decorating class, you will work on one three-tiered wedding cake and one show-stopping extended tier wedding cake. You will work with both real cakes and dummies to create your masterpieces. Throughout the class, you will be supported in practising key techniques and your teacher will be able to pinpoint exactly which skills you need to work more on. This is by far the best way of learning and avoiding developing bad habits in cake decorating which waste your time, effort and materials.

Class runs from 10.30am – 5pm.

This class is suitable for intermediate level students. 

You will learn:

• How to work with dummy cakes (learn why this is an essential skill) – cover dummies with fondant and practice those sharp edges
• How to cover a hexagon cake with ganache and cover it with fondant (working on real cakes)
• How to carve, fill and cover an extended tier round cake with chocolate ganache and fondant, perfect for modern weddings
• How to achieve straight and smooth edges with fondant – this is the latest trend that is an essential skill for all cake decorators
• How to effectively add gold lustre on fondant and use royal icing stencils onto your cake 
  
• How to make a wreath of sugar flowers to include roses, foliage and berries
• How to use simple cut out flowers and decorating techniques to make a cake stand out
• Add the extra oomph to your cake with some stunning royal icing stencil to your cake
• How to stack, dowel and secure your wedding cakes for easy transport and delivery
• How to fix any common cake mistakes (after all, you might not have the time to bake and decorate an entirely new cake on a Friday night!)

You will go home with:

• One three-tiered cake and one extended tier cake
• New skills and confidence in working with royal icing when used with stencils
• New sugar flower making skills
• Skills (and lots of practice) in covering cakes with sharp fondant edges
• Confidence to recreate any of your designs at home
• Answers to any cake questions that you can throw at us!
