Hi Everyone!  I just wanted to quickly post about this class for anyone interested.  I recently discovered Craftsy and took the Handcrafted Sugar Flowers class with Jacqueline Butler.  I really loved the class and learned a lot.  I had signed up for Craftsy’s newsletter and this morning received one that might interest you! 

They don’t have a lot of cake decorating classes as of yet (2 at this point!), but seem to be building in that area.  This morning they just announced their new Topsy-Turvy Cake Construction class!  It’s discounted at 50% right now, although I’m not sure how long that discount will last for.  The price right now is $29.99!

I’ve done topsy-turvy cakes before, but I think I might sign up for this one!

From Craftsy’s website:

What You Will Learn in Topsy-Turvy Cake Construction

  • How to design and create a cake based on composition, gravity and temperature considerations
  • How to use equations to easily calculate the angles for each tier
  • How to effectively cover cake in fondant
  • How to build a structure that supports every tier
  • How to transport your cake safely to its final destination

I’m particularly interested in structure and support, because I want to work at trying to create “extreme” cakes and need a better understanding of how to plan the support system.

If you are interested, you can sign up here.

Happy Caking 🙂
