Learn how to decorate cakes like a pro! In this basic decorating class, you'll learn the proper way to fill a cake, as well as the best way to frost the cake (buttercream, of course!) and several different ways to decorate the finished product. At the end of class, you leave with a fully decorated cake and the knowledge of how to do for future occasions!
Please note: Students will pick up a supply kit from Scratch Bakeshop, located at 41 Russell St., Rochester, NY 14607 on June 21st and 22nd between 10am-3pm. Please choose from regular, vegan, gluten-free, or vegan/gluten-free cake in the drop down menu when purchasing.
