Cake Decoration for Fun

The course will develop your skills and confidence in a friendly and supportive environment. It is suitable for you if you are a beginner or if you want to improve your existing skills. As the course attracts students with a range of abilities there will be a mixture of whole class and individual teaching and you will be encouraged to develop at your own pace. For beginners, the first 5 classes will be structured to give you an outline guide on the following: · Cake coverings and icings - dummies available or use your own cake · Finishing techniques: crimping, embossing, painting, plaques · Colouring, painting, using an air brush · Simple modelling - fondant icing or marzipan · Sugar flowers and leaves · Piping including lettering · Fabric effects The following 5 weeks will be negotiated with each group to allow you to develop areas of particular interest and take your skills to a higher level. If you want to concentrate on a special cake project you are welcome to do so in this part of the course. Advanced learners can negotiate their own learning plan with the tutor. You will be taught in our modern training kitchen and cake decoration room with up to date equipment and facilities.
