Wedding Cake 101

This is a class for all DIY Brides who would like to make their own Wedding Cake.
With a little knowledge of the ‘structural engineering’ required, I can show you how to make a simple but chic tiered cake, which will look of professional quality.

We will cover an 8” cake and a 6" cake dummy* in fondant icing, achieving a perfectly smooth finish, before dowelling the bottom tier and stacking the top tier. I will show you a few simple but effective decorating tips including handpiped pearl designs and simple fondant rose clusters.

Techniques covered in this session:

Splitting, filling and crumb coating a cake with buttercream
Working with fondant icing
Covering a cake with fondant to achieve a smooth finish
Dowelling and stacking (including how to add a central column which could be filled with fresh flowers)
Basic piping techniques including handpiped pearls
Fondant rose decorations and clustering effects
Trimming your cake with ribbons to match your colour scheme and effective embellishments

This class is also an excellent entry level for anyone looking to start a career in Wedding Cake design.
I will share all of my tricks and tips as well as the benefit of 5 years of professional experience.
