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 September 2012, the amazing Grace Stevens from “Cupcakes by Design” will be flying over all the way from South Africa to teach at Pretty Witty Cakes.   Grace will be teaching three classes including the “Bride and Groom” class.

What you will learn in the Bride and Groom Class

In this class you will learn various techniques for making a standing a bride and groom.  During the class, Grace will show you:

• How to make your own modelling paste.
• How to creating a sound internal structure to support standing models.
• How to make a standing groom.
• How to make a bride standing on one leg leaning in to kiss the groom with a groom leaning forward to kiss the bride (as per pictures).
• How to “dress” your bride and groom including a flowing bridal gown (you will also be able to make a top hat and tails for the groom).
• How to create cute and characterful faces with different expressions.
• How to make straight and curly hair, both long and short.
• 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).
