Learn modeling, texturing and coloring techniques to create amazing accents for food cakes and many other designs. Alongside cake artist Amber McKenney, you’ll start by using basic modeling and texturing methods to create convincing sugar grapes, kumquats, scallions, celery and figs. Achieve more complex textures as you easily craft amazing blue cheese, broccoli, red onion and lettuce leaf decorations. Then, discover essential airbrushing and hand-painting techniques for creating color gradients, layering and highlights that bring your foods to life. Move on to enhancing the textures you’ve already created with smooth and shining finishes. Plus, create woodgrain panels for a crate cake, and arrange your fruits and vegetables inside for a result that looks like it came straight from the farmers’ market.
