| These are some classes that I offer in Southeast Texas or will bring to your area if you would like to sponsor one. You are not limited to what I offer here, if you would like a custom class based on anything that you have seen on my site, I would be happy to put a class together for you or your group. I will also demonstrate for cake clubs and have an extensive list of demonstrations that I have given in the past. Many of the classes Below include the use of PVC armature. In those classes we will use a drill, pipe cutters, and sometimes gluing the pieces together. I provide a great deal of supplies for the classes that use these structures. You do not have to know anything about making a 3D cake to take one of the 3D cake classes but it is encouraged that you have some working experience in cake decorating to keep up with the class. All Classes include a frame by frame instructional DVD |
