Isn’t it frustrating when your cakes don’t look anything like you imagined?
You get an amazing cake idea, curate a collection of inspiration pictures, and find a great recipe to follow.
Then, after hours and hours of labor, your cake is finished…but it doesn’t look or taste the way you imagined. You’re not sure where you went wrong, but somehow your cake falls short of your expectations.
After going through my course, you’ll never experience that disappointment again!
Your cakes will be so impressive, you just might become the next Cake Boss
(minus the drama and yelling)
Recreate your inspiration photos with your own creative flair
Saving inspiration photos is just the first step! I’ll show you how to analyze your inspiration and break down the designs you see into elements that can be recreated, all while adding your own unique creativity to the mix.
Whip up perfect buttercream EVERY single time
Ever feel like you’re Goldilocks searching for the right buttercream? They’re either too sweet, too runny, too grainy… too everything other than what you NEED it to be?
When every recipe I tried fell short of my perfect buttercream dreams, I perfected my own recipe! It’s quick, creamy, has the perfect balance of sweetness and is the best for piping and decorating cakes!
Decorate cakes with perfect structure, texture & shape
Never again will you decorate wonky cakes with just a Ziploc bag and a prayer to the cake gods!
I’ll teach you which techniques & tools to use to build a structured cake, get that fondant smooth finish BUT with buttercream, and how to get perfectly square edges. (spoiler, it’s a lot easier than you think!)
