This class is THE class where you will learn how to model a bride and groom. For anyone running their only cake/cupcake business, or making cakes for friends and family, you will have a competitive edge if you can offer your clients bespoke brides and grooms that look just like them!

In November 2013, the amazing Grace Stevens from “Cupcakes by Design” will be flying back to visit us again from from South Africa.   Grace will be teaching three classes including the “Bride and Groom” class.

• How to make a sitting bride (as per pictures).
• How to “dress” your bride and groom including a flowing bridal gown.
• How to create cute and characterful faces with different expressions and Grace’s unique features.
• How to make a chignon hairstyle for the bride and short male hair.
• Hot to attach a bride and groom to a wedding cake.
• How to work with proportion on the models and in reference to the cake (as all cakes are different sizes)
• How to transport your models.

This is a great opportunity to learn directly from one of South Africa’s most talented sugar artists!  You will leave the course with your completed perfect bride and groom and will be armed to make brides and grooms in all different positions for wedding cakes (for other examples see those in the pictures above).
