Cake Decorating Workshop

The Cake Contessa and Thee Wedding Warehouse had our first EVER BRIDES cake decorating workshop. The brides to be that attended this event learned to frost and fill there very own 6 inch cakes. Later they covered each one in fondant, learning that its not quite as easy as it looks on tv. We made flowers such as calla lily’s, daisies, and roses all from fondant. Piping, scrolling and borders were all done in buttercream. For the finally a damask stencil! The ladies were quite excited about learning to stencil.
Each person got to take home there own spatula, fondant mat, and froster tip along with there cake.
Cake flavors were red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla bean.
The Cake Contessa and Thee Wedding Warehouse are very excited about the cake decorating workshops, our next one will be held on July 17th, and reservations are required, we will also have many other things going on at Thee Wedding Warehouse that day so mark your calander!! And give us a call!
