What’s it all about?

Fancy taking your cake decorating to the next level?

In this class you will learn how to use fondant (or sugar paste) to create decorations for your baked goods. We will have vanilla cupcakes ready for you to decorate and we will go from the basics of working with fondant to creating your own fondant figures.

In this Christmas edition, we will make a layered cupcake (Santa, an elf or a gift) and a snowman topper for your own cake.

What will we cover?

  • Fondant: What is it? Where to buy it? Cheap alternatives that work as well.
  • Tips on how to mold it, colour it, paint it and store it.
  • Step by step process for decorating cupcakes with fondant layers
  • Step by step process for making standing toppers via a snowman!

Who will be teaching?

Maria YebraMaria Yebra is a self-taught passionate baker and cupcake maker, if there is such a title… She started caketopping as a hobby by doing cupcakes for friends’ parties and soon she had baked her way through all the cake recipe books in her library. Then she discovered fondant and how much fun is it, just like playing with playdough when you were little. She has molded everything from Star Wars toppers to bulldogs, dragons, elephants and even memo notes. Maria also runs a cupcake blog where she posts about her latest fondant/cupcake creations.
