WHY LEARN WITH THE BOTANICAL CAKE STUDIO?

Each class is broken down into small steps with separate videos for each part of the creative process: from learning how to make your own flower paste - making the central disc - shaping your petals - accompanying leaves - dusting - and finishing
This ensures that the classes are suitable for all levels. Beginners can take their time and work through the videos at their own pace. Whereas more advanced flower artists who are simply looking to hone their existing skills, can skip to the appropriate videos where necessary.
Each video is also clearly subtitled so you can watch without sound or for those who are hard of hearing.
As well as having plenty of useful PDF reference guides and cheat sheets, you will also have access to a special COMMUNITY for the class in order to gain direct support from Clare should you require it. It's also a space to share your work and connect with fellow students.
Plus you can easily access the class and community anytime from your mobile or tablet by downloading the ZENLER app.

ABOUT

The Botanical Cake Studio was founded by cake artist Clare Margary. An ex-chef trained in Professional Cookery and Patisserie & Confectionery, in 2012 Clare created her own sideline venture, Little Bear Cakery, specialising in luxury wedding cakes. Over the past 10 years, Clare has found her true passion in creating incredibly lifelike sugar flowers. During this time she has developed her own unique techniques which she now teaches as part of The Botanical Cake Studio. 2020 saw the launch of her brand new garden studio where students can come and learn from Clare in person in either one-to-one or group classes. However, in order to make her teaching accessible for all, she will be regularly launching new online classes and courses so that you can learn from the comfort of your own home. Whether you are a complete novice, or a cake designer in your own right looking to develop your skills, The Botanical Cake Studio is a space where all levels are welcome. Clare looks forward joining you on your sugar flower journey.
