Introduction to cupcake decorating (suitable for beginners) morning class

Description

Held in my home, this is a short (2.5 hrs) practical, but fun, session which is held in the morning between 1000 and 1230. The class is ideal for beginners and those who have never worked with fondant and/or buttercream before but want to learn how to get creative with their cupcakes as well as learning basic skills which can be applied to larger cakes.

Don’t worry if you’re not artistic as you’ll make your fondant decorations using moulds and plunge cutters before adding to your cupcakes or taking them home to keep for future projects. Using premade buttercream, which you can add colour to if you want, you’ll learn how to pipe the classic rose swirl on 6 premade vanilla cupcakes. Time permitting; you’ll have an opportunity to try out some other piping nozzles before you bring everything together to create your masterpieces.

During this session you’ll learn;

• how to colour and work with fondant; how it’s different from modelling/flower paste and how to store your decorations;
• how to make basic fondant decorations using cutters and moulds which you can use on your cupcakes or keep for future projects;
• how to make and colour buttercream;
• how to pipe a classic rose swirl using buttercream, and, if there is time, have a go at using other nozzles.

Numbers are limited to a maximum of 4, so there's plenty of personal attention.
