Beginner Buttercream Cake Decorating Workshop
This class is for people who already love baking but feel like the decorating part lets them down.
If you’ve ever made a cake that tasted great but didn’t quite look how you imagined, this workshop will help you change that.
In this 3-hour hands-on class, you’ll learn how to fill, stack, crumb coat, and decorate your own buttercream cake using simple techniques designed for real home bakers — not perfect studio conditions.
You’ll leave with a decorated 6-inch cake, practical skills you can use again at home, and the confidence to keep creating for the people you love.
What You’ll Learn
- How to level, fill, and stack your cake layers
- How to crumb coat and create smoother buttercream sides
- Simple piping and decorative finishing techniques
- How to approach cake decorating step-by-step without feeling overwhelmed
- Why each step matters, so you can recreate the process at home
What You’ll Take Home
At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home:
- Your own decorated 6-inch buttercream cake
- A cake box for safe transport
- The skills and confidence to practise again in your own kitchen
