Swiss Meringue Buttercream Flowers Cupcake Course

Description:

Don’t be fooled! This amazing icing is soft as silk not hard as the name suggests. If you’ve not tried ‘SMBC’ before, you’re in for a treat… For those that have mastered standard swirls and bog standard buttercream, this floral icing effects class will take you to the next level of deliciousness and decorative intricacy!

On this baking & decorating course you will learn how to make fluffy, light cupcakes topped off with sumptuously smooth & soft swiss meringue buttercream – renowned for it’s creamy sweet flavour and silky, non-grainy texture.

And as if that wasn’t awesome enough, you’ll also learn how to pipe it in 6 different floral icing effects using the minimum of tools and equipment. At the end of the day you will go home with 12 delicious floral iced cupcakes, 2 of each design.

These expert floral styles are ideal for weddings and posh parties but even go down a treat with the kids. The only thing we do need to warn you about is to prepare for is the gasps of amazement and possibly a fight for the last one.

Latest customer feedback….
“I just wanted to say how much I’d enjoyed last Friday’s course. As an almost-new-to-piping person I’d expected to be despondent when I left, but it was actually the reverse! Not only did I have a good time on the course (and felt I learned heaps) but I’m now waiting for a bit of peace and quiet one day so I can have another go with the nozzles I bought!  The cherry on the top was that my egg-allergic son could eat the buttercream with no ill effects! Thanks again and I look forward to my next course next month.”
