Week 4 Baking

All recipes will be available as an ebook, including the final product and portion price calculation.
Week 3 Sugarflowers
intensive tuition on making wired sugar flowers( roses, peonies, lilies, foliage, filler flowers, embellishments).We will also create a bunch of fantasy flowers out of wafer paper and gelatine.

Then we will make decorations and use them to turn the covered dummy cake into three different projects. It will look like a birthday cake for a kid, then for him and her.

You will use a template we provided to insert the photos and prices ( which you will learn how to work out by yourself).
