The Retro "Shag" Cake Workshop: Fun with Texture

Service Description

Move over, smooth icing texture is back! Inspired by the colorful vibes of the 1970s, the "Shag Cake" is taking over social media with its fun, fuzzy appearance. In this private 2-hour session, Francine teaches you how to achieve this super-fun look that is perfect for beginners. This is the ultimate low-stress decorating class because there is absolutely no need for perfectly smooth sides! You will learn how to use a special "grass" piping tip to cover an entire cake in playful strands of buttercream "fur." We will work with a groovy color palette (think mustard yellows, retro oranges, and avocado greens) to create a cake that is whimsical, tactile, and totally unique. What's included in the private class: 1. No-Smooth Base: Learn how to quickly apply a rough crumb coat the perfect base for this textured style. 2. The "Grass" Tip: Master the specific piping tip that creates multiple strands of icing at once to build up that shaggy texture. 3. Retro Color Mixing: We will mix up a custom palette of vintage-inspired colors to make your cake pop. 4. Pattern Piping: Learn how to pipe in sections, stripes, or patches to create a funky, patterned shag design on your 6-inch cake. 5. Take Home Cake: You leave with a fun, fuzzy, and fully decorated Retro Shag cake that is sure to be a conversation starter. 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.
