Cake as Canvas: Strawberry Fields
The last day to book is ​May 31st

Let cake be your canvas!

​In this 1.5-hour hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basic techniques of painting with buttercream using a set of palette knives and a palette of buttercream paint.

Each participant will receive:

  • ​A pre-iced vanilla cake ready to decorate
  • ​A paint palette of colored buttercreams
  • ​A personal set of palette knives to take home
  • ​Step-by-step instruction on creating textured designs using palette knife techniques

​You’ll explore how to blend, layer, and sculpt buttercream to create a stunning impressionistic strawberry design. By the end of class, you’ll take home your fully decorated cake—along with your own set of palette knives to continue creating at home.

Allergy Notice: Our cakes and buttercreams are prepared in a kitchen that handles wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, and nuts.
