About this class:

This Buttercream Basics class was designed specifically for Cake4Kids volunteer bakers. You will learn how to level, stack and crumb coat a two-layer, six-inch cake and apply a final layer of buttercream. We will practice writing skills and basic borders as well as discuss baking and decorating techniques.

This class is a great introduction for beginners as well as a refresher for those who want to practice their skills.
