Description
What could possibly be more intriguing than art, unless it’s edible
When cake decorating became a fad, the original medium of choice was buttercream. A lot has changed since then with the introduction of fondant, gum paste, marzipan, and modelling chocolate. While they are all lovely ways to decorate a stunning cake, buttercream still holds the spotlight. Why
Simply because it is the crowd favorite as far as taste and it also renders the least expensive cakes. For many years, buttercream cakes were adorned with elaborate displays of piping skills…piped flowers, borders, dots, stars, etc. And as social media blew up, the trends became more modern with spatula techniques, watercolors, edible gold, and organic flowers. Still, buttercream has remained steadfast despite all of the changes.
In this course, you will learn how to use buttercream in a new medium…painting. This course walks you through how to paint with diluted gel food colors and how to use colored buttercream as a “paint”. There are two intricate projects for you to follow along and then try your newly learned skills at home.
