If you’re planning on making your own wedding cupcakes or starting a business making cupcakes, knowing how to create a stunning cupcake display is a seriously valuable skill. Let us share with you our wedding cupcake experience in making this gorgeous Spring display. The experience of making over 30,000 cupcakes and providing cakes for 200 weddings has gone into designing our wedding cupcakes classes!

A fabulous chance to learn cake splitting, preparing, covering and brush embroidery royal icing in a single day. This stunning collection of cakes will wow your friends, wedding guests or customers!

This informal, friendly class covers a variety of techniques. Some experience of handling sugarpaste would be helpful when joining us for this class. During the day you spend with us, (10.30am until about 3.30pm) you will…

- Learn to use and handle florist paste to make effective decorations.

- Learn to level a cutting cake for an exact finish.

- How and why we apply a crumb coat of icing to the cutting cake.

- Preparing and colouring sugarpaste icing.

- Covering the cutting cake in sugarpaste and how to perfectly finish the cake.

- Covering and finishing cupcakes with sugarpaste tops for a really elegant finish (particularly useful when making wedding cakes – no worries of buttercream melting!)

- The deceptively easy and incredibly effective technique of royal icing brush embroidery.
- Throughout the day we will explain time saving and preparation hints and tips to get you fully prepared for baking for the big day!

You’ll get hands-on and decorate your own 6″ cake and 6 cupcakes to take home, using the piping techniques you’ve learnt to create a taster of a stunning wedding cake display.
