NEW CLASS
"Ladies Shoes & Purse Cake and Pirates Cake"
The title says it all! This two day class will feature students creating two very different styles of cakes. The first cake will be a dummy cake that students will cover with rolled fondant. Next, a shoe and purse will be created with rolled fondant and gumpaste and decorated and highlighted with accessories created from gumpaste.

The very different second cake will be based on the Pirate Cake that Nicholas displayed at the 2007 ICES Convention in Omaha, Nebraska. A rolled fondant covered dummy cake will be transformed into a swashbuckling pirate, complete with his treasure chest of booty and pirate ship.

Both of these subjects are very different, but cover a wide variety of different decorating techniques that can easily be used on other cakes for women, men, boys and girls, for birthdays, holidays, celebrations and parties.
Dates: Saturday & Sunday, August 16 & 17, 2008
