In this half-day workshop, held at Honey Crumb's beautiful light-filled cake studio in lower Queen Anne, pastry chef Carla Schier will introduce you to the world of modern buttercream cakes. Well start out with pro tips on baking a cake from scratch, and Carla will then present a demo to demystify the process of making Swiss meringue buttercream the most legendary and luxurious of all the frostings. Well equip you with tools, cake, and buttercream, and youll dive into the process of filling and frosting a cake like a professional. Youll learn to create a modern watercolor buttercream gradient with overlay texture, and will leave the studio with a gorgeous cake of your own along with a whole new set of skills.
