Buttercream Flower Cakes & Cupcakes (Fri, 9am-7pm) - SoFlo Cake & Candy Expo

Buttercream flowers are a beautiful way to decorate both cakes and cupcakes! In this class you will learn how to pipe and arrange flowers in a variety of ways. First we’ll go over the tools required to make flowers and mix up a lovely color palette. Then we will pipe a variety of flowers while perfecting the techniques of angles, speed, pressure and layering. All the flowers in this class will be piped on top of a flower nail. Once we make all the flowers, we will practice various styles of cake arrangement such as a full bouquet, wreath and crescent. Then we will practice building mini arrangements on cupcakes. Lastly, we will complete the look by adding an assortment of fillers and foliage.
