Our social media feeds are awash with stunning piped florals and beautifully arranged cupcake bouquets, and now you can learn how to make them at home! These sessions will be focussing on the individual skills used to create particular blooms, explaining how they can be adapted into different types of flowers. The final line up is still somewhat up in the air (it has been SO hard to narrow down our choices), but these will likely be roses, chrysanthemums, tulips and anemones.

This class is ideally suited to those that have some experience with piping – whether that means you have already attended our Introduction to Piping Class or you regularly pipe cakes and cupcakes at home.

 

In this face-to-face cake decorating class, you will learn:

– How to adapt my regular ‘American Buttercream’ recipe to esnure the perfect consistency for delicate piping.

– How to colour your buttercream using gel food colourings.

– How to choose right selection of piping tips – including both traditional and modern varieties.

– How to manually adjust these, if necessary, to meet your needs.

– How to pipe a selection of petal types, which will enable you to go on to try other types of flowers.

– How to create four different cupcakes featuring a selection of carefully chosen blooms – likely roses, anemones, chrysanthemums and tulips.

– How to enhance these with a selection of carefully placed greenery.

 

I will provide the cupcakes you will use during the class, so there is no need to worry about getting the perfect bake. However, during the class you will receive a handy instruction pack, including all of the recipes you will need to recreate your Piped Buttercream Flowers again at home and, of course, you will get to take the cakes you create during the class home as well! Whether you’ll be able to bring yourself to eat them though..?

 

The class will be held at my dedicated Cooking, Baking and Cake Decorating Academy in the picturesque town of Fareham, Hampshire, conveniently located between Southampton and Portsmouth. Limited parking is available on site however, this will be offered on a first come first served basis.

You will be able to ask questions throughout the class, so you may wish to bring a notepad and pen with you to take notes. 

Confirmation of your order will be emailed to you. Once you have paid for the class, keep an eye on your emails and don’t forget to check those pesky junk folders!
