Christmas Tree Cake Decorating Class

***This is a LIVE VIRTUAL/ONLINE EVENT

Get ready for a fun time of cake decorating! In this hands-on class, you'll learn step-by-step how to decorate a festive Christmas Tree Cake that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

No experience is needed. Just bring your creativity and make a cake that will impress your family and friends.

Class Location:

This LIVE class is a virtual/online event ONLY. The class will be held via Zoom and a class link will be sent to the email provided.

Class Types:

• "Live Class Only" - Receive access to a PDF of the course workbook at least one week prior to the event (to the email address provided). Simply make the recipes included in the workbook before the start of class and decorate along!
• "Live Class + Decorating Kit + Rented Equipment" - In this option, there is no need to make any recipes or buy extra tools. We make everything for you AND supply all of the decorating equipment! Prior to the class, stop by the bakery to pick up the necessary class materials. Then, join us during the class to decorate. Within one week after the class is done, simply return the rented equipment to the bakery.
• "Live Class + Decorating Kit + Equipment to Own" - In this option, there is no need to make any recipes. We make everything for you AND supply all the decorating equipment for you to use and keep for future cake decorating! Prior to the class, stop by the bakery and pick up the necessary class materials. Then, join us during the class to decorate.
• "Live Class + Decorating Kit" - There is no need to make any recipes. We make everything for you! However, this option assumes you either already have access to cake decorating equipment, or you will be purchasing your own. Prior to the class, stop by the bakery and pick up the class materials (e.g., cake, frosting, piping tips/bag, and workbook). Then, join us during the class to decorate.

What You Will Learn:

• Our favorite vanilla cake and frosting recipes
• Step-by-step instruction designed for beginners (but fun for all levels!)
• Tips and tricks to make cake decorating easier
• How to stack and crumb coat a cake
• How to achieve a smooth frosting finish
• Preparing and filling a piping bag
• Using various piping tips to create swirls, rosettes, and dots

Decorating Kit Contents:

• One 6" cake (separated in layers)
• Pre-colored frosting
• Cake board
• Decorating materials (e.g., star sprinkle and white & gold edible pearls)
• Piping bags
• Reusable piping tips
• Piping practice sheet
• One cake box for a 6" cake

Will I Need to Prove Anything Myself?

• I am not providing a normal spatula with any class option since the kit includes plastic spoons for stirring/scooping the frosting. If you would prefer to use a spatula, I would suggest having 3 (one for each color). You can also just clean the spatula between each color.
• If you choose the “Live Class Only” option, you will need to supply all class materials yourself. A material list will be included in the course workbook PDF.
• If you choose the “Live Class + Decorating Kit” option, you will need to supply your own turntable, offset spatula, and cake scraper.
• If you choose the “Live Class + Decorating Kit + Rented Equipment/Equipment to Own” options, you will not need to supply any of your own materials.

More Information:

• The cake and frosting flavor is vanilla (both in the course workbook and in the cupcakes provided in the decorating kit).
• "Live Class Only" tickets are refundanle until the course workbook has been sent. After the PDF has been sent, the tickets are final sale and non-refundable.
• "Live Class + Decorating Kit" tickets (also Rented Equipment and Equipment to Own) are refundable up to one week prior to the event. At that time, the tickets are final sale and non-refundable.
