Mini Cakes class

This class will teach you how to cover and decorate 5 'Mini Cakes' using sugar paste and florist paste. We will be working with the classic colour scheme of cream and white to produce the elegant and pretty decorations pictured. Mini cakes are hugely popular for all types of occasions including Weddings, Birthdays or to give as an individual gift to someone.

On the day you will work with 5 generously sized (2.5 inch by 2.5 inch) rich all butter madeira cakes. You will be shown how to:

• Cover them with sugar paste and learn the right thickness that you need to achieve a flawless finish

• Work with florist paste and learn how to 'frill' your flowers to give a beautiful softer look to them

• Make edible pearls

• Hand-make delicate roses and learn how to make embossed butterflies

• Work with lustre and satin dusts to give a beautiful sheen to your decorations

• Attach your mini cakes to their own individual cake cards

• Choose complementing ribbons to finish off your cakes and give them a truly professional look

• Store them once made so you can make them ahead of time

You will go home with:

• 5 gorgeous rich all butter madeira 'mini cakes' handmade and decorated by you
