Do you want to make perfect dessert cakes that are perfectly leveled, with straight sides and a flawless finish? It's easier than you think, and I'll show you how in this cake decorating for beginners masterclass.
First, let me start by saying that just taking a class for cake decorating doesn't make you a professional cake decorator. No.
However, you can pursue a cake decorating career if you have a passion for it.
What we will learn in this course are the basics of cake decorating. And, these basics will be useful for you, not just for professional cake decorating, but also for decorating any cake or dessert. As a result, you will be able to impress your family and friends with your kids' birthday cakes, anniversary or other celebration cakes.
Once you complete this two-week masterclass series, you will be able to take a perfect layer cake to your next event and everyone will ask you: where did you order this cake from?
Most importantly, you will enjoy making your next dessert. In fact, you may even consider making your own (or your loved ones) wedding cake.
So, basically, this class will give you confidence and skills that you can apply to your personal or professional goals.Â
PLEASE NOTE - Most recipes in this masterclass are made with eggs or non-vegetarian products. If you can't eat eggs please do not register for this masterclass. Currently, I do not have eggless substitutes for these recipes. I truly apologize.
What's in this class?
Cake decorating is a broad craft and art form. As a result, it may be somewhat intimidating for beginners.
So, we are going to break it down into small bite-size pieces so it is not too overwhelming.
We are going to dedicate some days to reading and some days to practical learning.
And, instead of doing one long course for 3 months, we are going to break it down into smaller topics, starting with the basics in the next two weeks.
In particular, we will start by understanding the process of cake decorating.
- What we do?
- Why we do it?
- How we do it?
- What is the right way to do it?
- And, how to troubleshoot when things go wrong?
Week One (7 days)
The first week will be dedicated to learning the theory of cake decorating. Similar to any other topic, you first have to read and understand it before you can put it to practical use.
Week Two (5 days)
Next, we will bake and frost a buttercream cake from scratch. Putting everything we learned in week one into practice.

It will be like having your own personal teacher to help you through the whole process.
