New to cake decorating? Start here.
Join Cake Atelier Copenhagen for a hands-on 3.5-hour workshop focused on Swiss meringue buttercream, cake finishing and piping. You’ll learn the foundations you need to start decorating cakes confidently - while making your own little cake to take home.
This workshop is designed for complete beginners, but it’s also a great refresher if you’ve played around with buttercream before and want to improve your technique.
What you'll learn
We'll work step by step through the basics of buttercream cake decorating, including:
- How to work with Swiss meringue buttercream
- How to achieve a smooth and clean buttercream finish
- How to use a piping bag and different piping tips
- Basic piping techniques and decorative borders
- How to combine colours and simple decorations
- Tips and tricks for getting cleaner, more confident results at home
There will be plenty of hands-on practice, guidance throughout the workshop and time to ask questions.
What you'll make
Each participant will decorate their own 10 cm mini cake and take it home at the end of the workshop.
You don't need to bring anything - all tools, cake, buttercream, colours and decorating materials are provided.
You'll also receive follow-up recipes and PDF material via email so you can continue practising at home.
What's included
- One individual cake to decorate and take home
- All tools, buttercream, colors & materials
- Coffee, tea & light snacks
- Follow-up PDF material and recipes
Practical information
Duration: 3.5 hours
Level: Beginner
Group size: 4-10 participants
Language: English, Spanish or Italian
Cake: 10 cm / approximately 4 inches
The workshop takes place in my home studio, a small and personal space near Øresund metro. There is no need to bring tools or ingredients - just yourself and clothes you don't mind getting a little buttercream on. :)
Please note: The workshop uses Swiss meringue buttercream, which contains eggs and dairy.
Who is this workshop for?
Complete beginners are very welcome. You don't need previous cake decorating experience or any special equipment at home.
If you've already decorated cakes before, you'll still have plenty of opportunity to practise your piping, buttercream handling and finishing techniques — and ask questions about the things you've been struggling with.
The workshop is intentionally kept small and hands-on, so there is time for individual guidance and plenty of opportunity to practice.
