Cake Painting Workshop in Copenhagen – Buttercream & Palette Knife
- København S
- 2:30 hours
- American English, Italian or Spanish
Paint your own cake with buttercream and a palette knife in this creative, social workshop in Copenhagen. No experience needed. Aperitivo upgrade available.
Your cake as canva!
Swap the paint for buttercream and the brush for a palette knife. In this buttercream cake painting workshop in Copenhagen, a square cake becomes your canvas, and you’ll build up colour, texture and layers until it feels like a little edible artwork.
We start with a 30-minute intro: a bit of colour theory, how to handle a palette knife on buttercream, and how to paint in layers from background to details. Then you scan a QR code full of inspiration (beginner, intermediate and advanced designs), pick one, or ignore them all and follow your instinct. I’ll be walking around the table the whole time with tips, help and encouragement.
We paint mostly with palette knives. Buttercream is thick and doesn’t behave like paint, and that’s exactly what gives it such beautiful texture. Brushes only come out for the tiniest details. It’s creative, a little messy in the best way, and very easy to lose track of time.
What you’ll learn
- Colour theory basics, so your colours work together
- Palette knife techniques on buttercream
- How to paint in layers, from background to details
What you’ll make
Your own hand-painted 10 x 10 cm square cake to take home.
What's included
- Your pre-frosted square cake to paint and take home
- Coloured buttercream, palette knives, brushes and all materials
- Inspiration guide by QR code + digital support material
- Coffee or tea, light snacks/fresh fruit
