Cake Decorating Course with Birdcage Tea Bar at The Styling Shed

Master the sweet art of cake decorating at this interactive workshop!

On Saturday, 2 September, The Styling Shed in Stellenbosch is hosting another fun and interactive workshop – this time cake decorating is the skill that you’ll walk away with. And you’ll be learning from some experts in the biz – none other than Beate Strydom from the Birdcage Tea Bar in Stellenbosch.

Guests will be taken through the various baking steps and we hear that plenty of insider secrets will be shared on how to create something magnificent out of cake!

The Birdcage Tea Bar is well-known and loved in Stellenbosch for their colourful selection of delectable treats. These talented pastry chefs  can whip up cookies, biscuits, cakes, cupcakes, meringues, scones and muffins – all of which will be stunningly decorated. They really do look too good to eat!

At the workshop, Beate will take you on a journey that starts with two plain cakes and ends as a stacked and decorated buttercream masterpiece! The TV chefs (and the people on the Great British Bake Off) always make icing cakes look so easy. Well, from personal experience I can say that it is not a simple task and a little guidance from the professionals would have helped me avoid a rather large disaster (complete with a hyperactive Golden Retriever covered in buttercream)!

The workshop will start with the basics to make sure that everyone has an understanding of how to ice a cake and from there Beate will dive into a variety of decorating techniques that will take your cake from ameteur to professional in less time than it takes to eat the whole cake (for me, about ten minutes).

At the cake decorating workshop, you will be treated to tea, coffee and light snacks to keep you going for the day. If you are feeling a little peckish, the De Kuipe Bistro is right next door and they have a delicious selection of foods for you to purchase and enjoy after the workshop! The price of your workshop ticket includes two round 15cm cakes to decorate, a cake decorating starter pack, and of course the expert knowledge from one of the best bakers in Stellenbosch! I bet you’re wondering what is inside the mysterious ‘cake decorating starter pack’? It includes a cake decorating turntable, an icing adapter and nozzle, disposable icing bags, a spatula and a cake scraper. At the end of the workshop you will walk away with a beautiful stacked cake decorated by you, the decorating starter pack and some new skills to spoil friends with!
