Piping techniques that we will cover in this class include creating basket weave patterns and creating a variety of flowers [roses, pansies, and blossoms].

Hi good morning! Can we bring the cake we bake for the class? If yes - Is there a special cover so we can transport it - most especially via Uner or Subway. Thank you!

Question from Naomi R.

Do you have to know how to apply a crumb coat and frosting of this cake? or do you get a pre-frosted cake to learn new techniques? I'd like to learn how to pipe buttercream flowers but I don't really know how to frost a cake (I make mostly cupcakes and cookies)

Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff

Hi there! To learn how to ice and frost and cake the student must sign up for Cake Decorating 101. To learn to pipe flowers the class would be Cake Decorating 102. So to learn everything you mentioned, you would need to take both classes. Hope this helps!

Question from anonymous

What is the different between cake decorating 102 class, and buttercream, cake composition class? I am looking to learn how to pipe buttercream flowers and some special skills on a cake instead normal star pipe or broad.

Answer from Elijah C. CourseHorse Staff

Hi there! If you want to learn how to pipe buttercream flowers, you need to take Cake Decorating 102 class. For other piping, Cake Decorating 101 class. Hope this helps!
