Take your cake decorating skills to the next level! Join Celebrity Pastry Chef Dawn of Ravy Cakes, LLC for a beautiful, hands-on Mini Two-Tier Cake Decorating Workshop filled with rich jewel tones, artistic buttercream techniques, elegant florals, and stunning gold accents. This workshop is perfect for cake decorators looking to expand their skills, learn professional cake construction techniques, or create a beautiful celebration cake that is truly a work of art.

Students will create their own mini two-tier buttercream cake while learning how to properly build, stack, and decorate a tiered cake from start to finish. We'll begin with the fundamentals of applying and smoothing the final layer of buttercream to achieve a clean, professional finish. Chef Dawn will demonstrate how to properly construct and support a two-tier cake, including creating the internal support structure needed for stability and successful stacking.

Once your cake is assembled, it's time to get creative! You'll explore buttercream shading, blending, and painting techniques to create a vibrant, abstract jewel-toned design. We'll finish your cake with elegant floral placement, edible gold leaf, hand-painted gold accents, and other beautiful finishing details that bring your creation to life.
