Class Sessions
Design Basics
11:03
Meet cake artist Stevi Auble, and preview the six amazing flowers you're going to make: anemone, ranunculus, poppy, garden rose, dahlia and chrysanthemum. Then, learn Stevi's four main pillars of cake design and what patterns and colors of wafer paper work well together.
Creating Texture With Wafer Paper
16:39
Add luscious texture to your tiers as Stevi demonstrates two easy ways to wrap your cakes in wafer paper. First, create a vintage faux-leather look, the perfect contrast to light and airy flowers. Then, learn the wafer-paper spin on creating trendy wrapped ruffles.
Using Frosting Sheets
15:51
Add bold colors and patterns to your cakes with frosting sheets! Stevi offers advice for printing, cutting and applying sheets to tiers. Then, create a chic embellishment as you cut out a single motif from your frosting sheet and mount it onto gum paste.
Anemone & Poppy
28:25
Learn your first two wafer-paper flowers as Stevi takes you through the process: from forming a gum paste center and adding stamens made of thread, through wiring wafer-paper petals and leaves. You'll love Stevi's tricks for adding gelatin pollen as well as veining leaves and petals.
Ranunculus & Garden Rose
23:43
Create two more flowers, shaping individual petals to increase movement and botanical accuracy. Use a paper punch to cut out each petal, and add veining and ruffled textures by hand. Glue your petals directly to a craft-foam center as you build out these lush, dense flowers.
Dahlia & Chrysanthemum
18:03
Create dramatic, fanciful dahlias with elongated petals, individually curled and shaped for maximum effect. Stevi shows you how to attach these petals to a gum paste center as you build this flower from the outside in. Then, refine your look with a chrysanthemum, building your bloom from the center out.
