Description

What's more captivating than art? 🎨 Well, art you can eat! 😋

When cake decorating first became trendy, buttercream was the go-to choice. While new techniques like fondant, gum paste, marzipan, and modeling chocolate have emerged, buttercream still reigns supreme. Why? Simply because it's the taste favorite and makes for some of the most affordable cakes! 🎂✨

For years, buttercream cakes were decorated with exquisite piping skills – think flowers, borders, dots, and stars. As social media blossomed, designs evolved with spatula techniques, watercolors, edible gold, and organic flowers. Yet, buttercream's charm remains unshaken. 💪🌷🍰

This course introduces you to using buttercream in an innovative style: buttercream painting! 🎨 This course guides you on how to paint using diluted gel food colors and buttercream as your "paint." 🌈 You'll learn through two detailed projects and be able to test your newfound skills at home! 🏠👩‍🍳
