Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this cake decorating class:

With the help of a live online instructor, become the cake boss of your own kitchen.

Learn the basics of decorating cakes using delicious buttercream frosting. You’ll pipe stars, rosettes, and all matter of patterns. Step up your cake game. 

Materials needed to fully participate: 

  • 2 cake pans
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Butter cream frosting
  • Piping bags & tips
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Scissors
  • A dinner plate (to practice piping)
  • A serrated bread knife 
  • A clean, empty cup
  • Ideally, you will have ready 2 round cakes, baked and completely cooled. You may use whatever cake recipe or box you prefer! If you don't have time to bake a cake, no worries! You can use a clean cake pan as well.

If you have a preferred buttercream recipe, feel free to make it ahead of time- but I will be showing you how to make a super simple buttercream. For this you'll need: 

  • 1 lb butter, at room temp
  • 1 lb confectioners sugar
  • 1/4 c milk, at room temp (preferably whole milk or heavy cream, but any kind works) 
  • vanilla extract or flavoring 
  • As well as a hand or stand mixer. 

About the Instructor:

Lisa studied French pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, London. Since that time she has gone in to write recipes for BuzzFeed, Food Network, and Spoon University. Currently she works as an on camera food report for Insider, and freelances as a cake decorator.


Virtual Class FAQ


What will be included in my Virtual Class package?

One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.

How many people is my purchase good for?

Each ticket is good for one "device" (i.e. one computer, phone, tablet, etc. you'll be logging in from). This ensures we don't get more people in the class than the instructor can handle. Though we understand some people live together and will be working/learning together, the intent is that each class still allows for the same attention to attendees as if students purchased separately. Please be respectful of this!

Will I need anything from home to use in the class?

You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.

Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?

Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.


Do I have to show my video or speak during class?

While we recommend you do show your video and speak when encouraged to by the instructor, video and audio participation are never mandatory. We find classes have more fun experiences when people are engaging with one another, but understand not everyone will want to do so and that's ok!


Refund Policy

Students may cancel any time 48 hours or more before the class to receive a refund. Students canceling less than 48 hours before a class will receive a full credit towards rescheduling or purchasing a different class.
