Class Description

Description

There is something truly timeless and deeply satisfying about piping life-like flowers in buttercream, and this final class in the Buttercream Essentials Certificate series brings that skill fully within reach.

In the fifth and culminating class of the Buttercream Essentials Certificate, presented by NY Cake Academy's Cake Decorating Fundamentals series, you will master the hand techniques needed to build beautiful, dimensional buttercream flowers petal by petal. Guided by expert instructors, you will practice piping four distinct flower varieties: blossoms, English roses, anemones, and traditional roses. You will also learn the intricate geometric pattern of the basketweave, a classic technique that adds texture and elegance to any cake.

Bringing everything together, you will arrange a vibrant, realistic floral spray and position it on your finished Basket Flower Cake for a truly dazzling conclusion to the series.

  • Buttercream Essentials: Buttercream Flowers

    I really enjoyed this class. The instructor demonstrated in a step-by-step fashion how to make the flowers. The class size was perfect, which allowed the instructor to come around to provide feedback and assist as necessary. Loved that we were able to not only learn the buttercream flowers, but to practice the basketweave on a cake we frosted and decorated with our own flowers. The class time was adequate to get it all done at a reasonable pace and we got to take our creations home to enjoy. I would recommend this class!
