The Cake Workshop

Popping up a school holiday class for 11 - 99 year olds. Come along Saturday 13th July 1.30 pm for fun with cupcakes and buttercream. You will make and colour your own buttercream, learn how to use several piping tips and practise techniques, then decorate six beautiful cupcakes to take away. $79 per person and class is around 3 hours. Message me to book.

Like the idea of attention-seeking cupcakes ?! A Fondant Covered Cupcake workshop will certainly fit the bill. Saturday 2nd December @ 2pm, $79 pp for three hours of cupcake fun.

Traditional fruit cakes are iced with a layer of almond icing or marzipan and covered with a smooth rolled fondant coating before the finishing decorations are added. Maybe this year is the time to learn how to do it well, and, fortuitously, I have my annual workshop coming up on Saturday 25th November 9.30am until finished ( probably around 3.30pm). You will need to bring your lunch and a 17 - 20cm round fruit cake ( homemade or bought) to ice and decorate. All other materials, tea and coffee, and use of tools provided. $175 pp. Book now as limited spaces available.

The last Cake Dressing 101 course for this year begins on Saturday 14th October at 2pm. It's a great introduction to a whole range of cake decorating skills and always a lot of fun. You will work with fondant, gumpaste, buttercream and royal icing. Over the five weeks you will make a variety of decorations, learn piping skills, decorate cookies, dress cupcakes and finally, learn all the steps to successfully cover a layer cake with smooth fondant. (Everything is relevant to buttercream or ganache covered cakes too, right up until the fondant layer.) $415 pp Message me to book.
