Have you ever seen a gorgeous layer cake, and wondered how the layers are so perfect, or how beautifully smooth the buttercream is? 

In this course I'll be breaking down the process of making a professional layer cake step-by-step, so that you can confidently take on the challenge of making your own layer cake! :)

You'll learn:

- How to bake a delicious and moist cake 

- How to make Swiss meringue buttercream

- How to apply a crumb coat and final coat of buttercream 

- How to apply a chocolate ganache drip to a cake

- How to safely apply fresh flowers to a cake

I have also carefully crafted detailed notes of each step for you to use with extra tips and recipes, so that you can always have something to refer to.

Though this is considered a beginner's course, the course does get progressively more difficult, with some techniques towards the end of the course being relevant to more advanced students as well. 

So what are you waiting for! Come join me in my course where I cannot wait to share my passion with you, and see what beautiful cakes you create :)
