Looking for fun things to do in Sydney? Join this fun cake decorating class and learn how to create stunning vintage designs on delicious cakes!
In this detailed class, master bakers from the award winning Classic Cupcake Co will show you how to create these fashionable, ornate, gilded designs that have been popular since the 1700s. They are known as "retro" cakes because of their frilly, over-piped design.
The class will last approximately 3 hours depending on how many people there are in the class, and the previous experience of attendees.
Class includes:
  • You will be presented with a pre-baked six inch vanilla cake, freshly baked by our CCC chefs
  • Learn how to layer slice your cake
  • Learn how to crumb coat your cake
  • Learn how to mask your cake with our our freshly prepared buttercream
  • Learn how to correctly prepare and fill your piping bags
  • You'll be shown a range of vintage piping techniques and several different nozzles
  • Develop refined techniques for design creation
  • Get tips and tricks from the experts including working with buttercream
  • Personalised class completion certificate
  • Your own CCC branded chefs apron to use throughout your class.
At the end of the class, you will get a display box to take home your delicious, eye catching treat for your friends and family!
Pre-order one of The CCC's take-home Piping Kits at checkout and it will be ready for you to collect on the day of your class. These kits have been curated carefully by our expert team to enable you to replicate, at home, the techniques and skills you learn during class.
The kit includes 3 metal nozzle tips, 8 disposable piping bags, 1 glitter lustre dust, two bags of sprinkles and two gel colours.
