Overview
Cake design truly is an art form; anyone who has ever been to a wedding where the cake sits front and center knows this to be true. In fact, this art form is so coveted that those tiered wedding cakes can run as high as a thousand dollars to buy and display. But what a lot of people may not realize is that you don’t have to have a degree from an expensive culinary school in order to create beautiful and sophisticated cakes, any more than you have to attend art school in Paris to be able to create beautiful paintings.
Learning how to create cakes like the pros is absolutely within your reach. And with this course, you’ll be well on your way to wowing friends and relatives at birthday parties, weddings, and every cake-eating event in between.
