Edible Art: Palette Knife Floral Painting

Service Description

Do you love the look of floral cakes but feel intimidated by a piping bag? This is the class for you! In this private 2-hour session, we treat the cake as our canvas and buttercream as our paint. Francine will teach you the artistic and therapeutic technique of "Palette Knife Painting." It’s less about precision and more about texture and movement. You will learn how to load your palette knife with multiple colors to create realistic, impressionistic flowers from sweeping peonies to delicate rosebuds and leaves that have a high-end, sculptural feel. No drawing or painting experience is necessary! What's included in the private class: 1. Cake as Canvas: You will work on a real 6-inch cake, pre-iced with a smooth base layer, ready for your artwork. 2. Palette Knife 101: Learn how to hold and manipulate different shaped palette knives to achieve various petals and textures. 3. Color Mixing: Discover how to marble and double-load your knife with buttercream to create flowers with beautiful color depth and realism. 4. Floral Techniques: Master the specific strokes to create a variety of flowers, including poppies, roses, leaves, and abstract filler flowers. 5. Take-Home Masterpiece: You leave with your own beautiful, hand-painted floral cake that looks like a piece of art. What do you need to bring? Just bring a notebook and pen to note down the priceless tips and techniques you'll learn throughout the class. We'll handle the rest by providing aprons and offering light refreshments during the workshop.
