Get ready for a spooktacular cake adventure! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a Halloween-themed cake that’s equal parts creepy and colorful. This design introduces you to isomalt techniques and fondant basics. To add an extra layer of frightful fun, we’ll be working with glow-in-the-dark food colors. A black light will be available for taking pictures at the end of class.

In this class you will learn:

Isomalt essentials including safety, cooking, coloring, using molds and how to store your completed sugar decorations.
Fondant fundamentals including rolling, cutting, and applying accents for bold designs.
Color alternatives using food colors that glow under UV light to make your cake shine in the dark.

Must be at least 18 years old to participate in this class.

We will be working with boiling sugar, so please wear long sleeves, long pants and closed toe shoes. You will be provided with gloves to protect your hands.

This class is for students who have taken the Introduction to Cake Decorating class or who already have a basic knowledge of working with buttercream.
