Private Cake Decorating Class with Award Winning Sugarcrafter in Newcastle

Duration: 5.5 hours

Class Details:

Suitable for beginners through to the more experienced sugarcrafter, upon booking this experience you can discuss exactly what you’d like to achieve from your day. If you’re new to the art and therefore unsure where to start, the following is an example of what a beginner sugarcrafter could learn during a day with our skilled pastry chef...

Using a delicious, home baked sponge cake as your canvas (readymade for you prior to the class), learn how to decorate the cake from scratch, including covering it with sugarpaste, achieving a smooth and perfect finish; how to make 3 delicate sugar roses and leaves, with which to adorn your cake; how to make coloured royal-icing, with which you will learn piping methods to decorate your cake. Lastly you will be shown how to add the finishing touches, before your cake is carefully boxed up for you to take home!

Cost Includes:

The cost of this class includes coffee or tea upon arrival, all materials and your decorated cake to take away with you. Don’t forget to bring your lunch!
