Class is full: Cake Decorating 101

Decorating cakes for that special event can feel like a daunting task. Fear not!   ArtHaus is joining forces with the Sassy Baker to focus on some basic and simple techniques to impress your guests. Frosting a layer cake, adding a crumb coat, and pleasurable piping will get you started in the right direction. But don’t forget about adding simple textures to make any cake look like you went to a bakery. Several shared tips and tricks of the trade will take the fear out of frosting and decorating a cake. You will discover you’re only limited not by your experience, but by your imagination. Everyone will go home with two 6” round decorated layer cakes, a packet of recipes for buttercream frosting, and a list of tips and tricks to take home.

The Sassy Baker is a craft baking experience. We pride ourselves on utilizing the highest quality ingredients, and traditional baking methods. We embrace the abundance of locally sourced ingredients and making every batch from scratch. All baked goods are prepared in small batches. This simple method allows you to experience the true flavors of hand-crafted baking.
