July Classes

What a busy start to the summer! So many new projects and not enough hours in the day... I'm really late getting the July schedule out to everyone, but yesterday I was able to finalize all the classes. I hope you've had an opportunity to attend at least one class. The students have a great time and go home every week with a new project, so I hope you make some time to join us.

We will be adding a student class every Monday morning over the summer. The class will run from 10:30 am - noon. The age limit is 11 - 15 and the cost will be $15.00 per week for most classes. The first class will be Monday, June 25th. The cost is $15.00 and students need to bring either 1 - 8"x3" round cake or 2 - 8"x2" round cakes. The first class will focus on how to ice a cake smooth and decorate with basic piped borders. Class size will be limited to 6 students so reserve your seat early.

Every month we've been fortunate to have at least one guest instructor. This month we were lucky to be able to schedule Silvina Barboza who is teaching the ABC's of Modeling as I write this. Next week, Mary Ann McLean will be here teaching students how to pipe animal faces on cupcakes. We have just a few seats left in the Saturday morning class, so if you're interested let me know soon.

Our guest instructor for July will be Carol Bianchi. Carol is the owner of Carol's Cake Creations and has over 30 years experience. Carol will be sharing her knowledge of airbrushing over the course of two weeks. If you've always wanted to learn to use an airbrush, here is a great basic course for you. *Please be aware that the airbrushing classes will be limited to 8 students.

Here is the July schedule. Please note we will be closed on July 3rd and 4th for the holiday and classes will be pushed one day later.
