Learn the fundamentals of beautiful layer cakes in this hands-on decorating workshop. Enjoy snacks and a glass of sparkling wine as Pastry Chef Marie demonstrates how to build, soak, frost, glaze, and finish cakes while sharing professional techniques for making silky buttercream, piping techniques, and creating polished cakes at home. Guests will practice decorating skills and assemble their own 4-inch layer cake to take home.

Along the way, we'll explore flavor pairings, spices, and fillings to inspire your own cake creations before finishing with fresh flower decorating and a cake tasting.  Recipes include Almond Rose Cake with Mastic Icing, Coconut Passionfruit Cake with Sahlep  Buttercream, Vanilla Olive Oil Cake with Pistachio Cream & Raspberries
