Question from Tiara P.
Will we learn how to make the buttercream frosting and the different consistencies?
Answer from Grainne V. Verified Student
Not how to make it, as they sell a certain type off mix there, but they do speak a few minutes ability about consistency. This is more about how to frost a cake with buttercream and practicing piping techniques.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Tiara! In the cake decorating 101 class students do NOT learn how to make different buttercreams. The frosting is pre-made and the focus is on decorating techniques with various tips in a piping bag and how to fill and frost a cake.

Question from Mackenzie M.
is this class suitable for a vegan baker?
Answer from mariangela f. Verified Student
Hi Mackenzie! We weren’t given the recipes for frosting etcetera. Pretty sure there were eggs whites in there and butter. So if you can manipulate i would say yes just to give you an idea of consistency and methods.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Mackenzie! Sorry, but this class is not vegan. Thanks!
