About this Event
Turn your cakes into conversation pieces in this creative, hands-on class focused on how to incorporate professional looking messages to your cake designs. You will learn multiple techniques to confidently add beautiful (and meaningful!) messages to your cakes.
In this class, Laura Larson from Laura’s Custom Cakes will walk you through a variety of lettering styles and mediums, with tips and advice for each, including
- Classic piped script for achieving elegant, timeless handwritten messages
- Silicone molds to make letters using chocolate or isomalt
- Letter cutters & tappits for clean, professional-looking fondant designs
- Edible markers & edible paper to create hidden messages for a fun surprise underneath your frosting
After a demonstration of the techniques, you will receive a single layer frosted cake to decorate using your preferred message style, allowing you to showcase your favorite technique with confidence.
You will leave with new skills, creative confidence, and a finished cake that speaks for itself—literally!
