Coquette Cake Class
Step into the world of soft, romantic cake design in this Coquette Cake Class—a stunning introduction to cake carving and vintage (Lambeth-style) piping.
In this hands-on class, students will transform a standard round cake into a beautifully decorated heart-shaped cake—no specialty pans required. You’ll learn how to use a template to carve your cake, giving you a versatile, cost-effective skill you can use for endless designs at home.
What You’ll Create
Each student will work with a two-layer cake that is torted into four layers, then filled, stacked, and carved into a heart shape. From there, you’ll build your cake from the inside out—learning proper structure before finishing with elegant piping details.
What You’ll Learn
This class is packed with technique and designed to give you a strong foundation in cake decorating:
• How to torte cake layers evenly and build a stable cake

• How to fill, crumb coat, and apply a final smooth coat

• How to carve a heart-shaped cake using a template (no specialty pans needed!)

• How to work with Swiss meringue buttercream

• How to color buttercream properly and understand basic color theory

• How to create a monochromatic color palette, including soft shade variations
Piping & Design Focus (Lambeth Method)
Students will learn the fundamentals of vintage Lambeth-style piping—a timeless decorating method known for its layered, elegant designs.
This style involves building multiple layers of piping to create depth and texture, and while it’s beautiful, it can also be challenging—which is exactly why we break it down step-by-step.
You’ll learn:
• How to properly hold and control a pastry bag

• Pressure piping techniques and consistency control

• How to use piping tips at different angles to achieve various designs

• How to layer piping to create a cohesive final look
Piping techniques covered include:

• Shell borders

• Swags

• Ruffles
Each student will choose and mix their own custom color, making their cake completely unique.
