If there are lots of celebrations in your future, it can be both a money-saver and a fun hobby to learn how to decorate cakes!  While fancy flowers and pretty piping may seem intimidating, you can actually get started with just a few specialty tools and some basic techniques. Decorating cakes can be as simple or as complicated as you choose to make it!

In this 10-part series, Chef Natalie Madison will focus on basic, intermediate, and even advanced details of cake decorating.  Topics that will be covered are Modeling Chocolate, Buttercream, Cake Toppers, Leveling and Icing, Textured Cakes, Fondant, Basket Weave and Floral Design, Buttercream Boarders, Scrollwork, and Swags, Shaped Cakes, and Mastering the Buttercream Rose.

Class 1: Build-A-Dragon
In honor of Appreciate a Dragon Day, which falls on January 16, 2023, students will learn how to create a dragon cake topper by using a variety of materials.  From fondant to modeling chocolate, students design into individual shapes, then, join the pieces together to create a strong and unique dragon.  Add textures, details, food coloring, and lusters to bring your dragon to life!  Use these skills to make a wide variety of creatures and toppers on future cakes.
