Decorating & Sugar Art Classes
Have you wanted to take your cake decorating to the next level? Our sugar art classes offer instruction in the use of a variety of sugar mediums. We teach students to work with modeling chocolate, candy clay, royal icing, edible armatures, poured pulled and blown sugar, Isomalt and gumpaste. Our sugar art classes are designed to give you hands-on experience so that you may go home and reproduce what you have made in class. We also offer a series of sugar art classes for those students who want to learn to make realistic sugar flowers and we teach students to make very impressive edible art that may be used as a 3-D cake topper or a center piece for a sweet table. Everything is provided. Students take home all that they make. We offer many sugar art classes appropriate for children as well as adults.
