Meet your instructor, cake artist Alan Tetreault, as he previews the six projects you'll explore in this class.
Get started stenciling as Alan imparts his techniques for creating hands-free stencils, perfect-consistency icing and evenly applied designs that wrap around the entire cake. Embellish your designs with over-piping and luster dust.
Learn the art of underpainting to add dimension and depth as you dust the fondant before you stencil onto a square cake. Add a monogram and mask off parts of the stencil you wish to omit from your design.
Add drama to your designs as Alan demonstrates how to paint stenciled designs with luster dust, stencil onto a cake board and create a free-standing decoration that echoes the main motif.
Discover Sugar Dress, which makes pliable, strong lace that can be made months ahead of time to add a modern twist on delicate lacework. Alan offers detailed instruction on how to make it as well as creative ideas for incorporating it in your designs.
Not a fan of fondant? No worries! Alan shows you how to stencil on crusting buttercream and even includes the recipe.
Scale down your designs as Alan shows you how to use all of the techniques to make stunning and coordinating cupcakes and cookies.
