Swiss Buttercream Flowers Cupcake Course

Don’t be fooled… This amazing icing is soft as silk not hard as the name suggests. If you’ve not tried Swiss ‘Meringue’ Buttercream before, you’re in for a real 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.
