* This class will be recorded. Recording may be shared with the class participants ONLY and will be available for viewing anytime later on.
This class is hosted online. Once you book, you’ll receive an email with a link and details on how to join. I'll be taking this class live from my home in the English countryside! Anyone with the ingredients can participate from their own kitchen.
I will show you how to make smooth traditional buttercream and how to layer, crumb coat and smoothly cover a layer cake with buttercream. I will show you the nozzles I use for different designs and give tips for producing neat pretty patterns.
We will then move on to piping pretty flowers and leaves. I will talk you through colouring buttercream and show you the nozzles I use for different flowers and how I prep them for decorating a cake.
We will try to pipe together a variety of flowers and leaves.
