Buttercream Piping & Cupcake Decorating Class $55

Join us for a fun, hands-on class where you’ll learn the art of buttercream piping and cupcake decorating! In this interactive workshop, participants will explore a variety of piping techniques using classic buttercream, including rosettes, swirls, borders, and simple floral designs. You’ll practice each technique step-by-step and then apply them to decorate your own set of cupcakes.
While we’ll be working on cupcakes during class, the piping skills you learn can easily be used to decorate full-sized cakes as well, making this class perfect for anyone who wants to elevate their homemade cakes for birthdays, celebrations, or special events.
Each participant will decorate a six-pack of cupcakes to take home, along with a buttercream recipe card so you can recreate the frosting and practice your new skills in your own kitchen.
No prior decorating experience is necessary, just come ready to learn, create, and have fun with buttercream!
