Those nostalgic vintage cakes can look too good to eat, and in this class they will be! Decorate a heart-shaped wooden trinket box, learning icing piping techniques with a fake cream mixed from plaster to create a realistic smooth buttercream texture. 

What will we cover?

We’ll be:

  • Mixing our faux cream in different colours with plaster-learning and practicing piping techniques with different icing tips 

  • icing and decorating the box as if it was a real cake

  • any excess cream leftover can be sealed and brought home, where you can use it on something else

  • lowering your item into your BYO box via a non-stick base, securing it for transport home

**** BYO box to carry your approx 11x12x6cm drying cake (+allow space for your decorations)
