Enchanted Garden Cake Decorating Course

Create Your Own Enchanted Garden Cake

Step into a world of flowers, butterflies, mushrooms and whimsical garden details with Sugarbear Bakery’s Enchanted Garden Cake Decorating Course.

This three-morning hands-on course takes you through the complete process of creating a stunning themed cake. Rather than simply demonstrating individual techniques, the course guides you through the journey from preparing the cake through to the final decorative details.

On Day 1, you’ll build the foundations of your cake. You’ll explore cake baking tips, levelling, filling and stacking before learning how to create a smooth buttercream finish and prepare your cake for fondant.

Day 2 moves into fondant and structure. You’ll learn how to achieve a smooth fondant covering with sharp top edges, explore basic modelling techniques and create the themed decorations that bring the enchanted garden concept to life.

On Day 3, you’ll focus on decoration and finishing. You’ll work with piping techniques, buttercream flowers and grass, painting and lustre effects before completing the final assembly and detailing of your cake.

The course also goes beyond decoration. You’ll receive practical advice on photographing, transporting and pricing cakes, making the course particularly useful for anyone considering turning their baking skills into a small cake business.

At the end of the experience, you’ll take home your own beautifully finished 6-inch Enchanted Garden cake, along with new skills, techniques and the confidence to continue creating.
