Beginner Sugarcraft Course

Introduction to 3D Figurines and Flowers for Beginners
This module is suitable for those who want to get familiarized with the making and working of fondant/sugar paste, Gum paste and Modeling paste.

Highlights:

1. All ingredients used in recipes are easily available in Mumbai and other local markets.

2. We train you mostly without cutters – why? so that you don’t have to invest heavily in cutters and patterns. We pass on all suppliers list to you at end of course and you are completely free to purchase at your will. So that you are not dependent on any body, not even us.

3. We will never send you last minute email to bring material, you just have to bring what is listed upfront. Normally our workshops include all the tools, cutters and all the fondant/gum paste required.

We will never surprise you unlike other places to buy tool kits or any other material.

We will begin with making of the fondant and gum paste, this is important so that you get your fondant right. This process will ensure that you have understood the necessary ingredients and their mixing and most importantly to check consistency of sugar paste. Vegetarian option is available in fondant making.

We do more flowers like lily, oriental flowers and shoe flower.

Then you will begin by crafting simple to fairly complex 3D animal figurines, in figurines lot of techniques are applicable and each figurine requires attention to the detail.

We do the most complex figurines together like bunny with carrots, penguin and dinosaur. Here the most important aspect is to manage the aesthetics of the figurine, so that it can be placed on cupcake or cake.

Before moving forward, you are encouraged to select a theme of your cake. We do this exercise so that the entire batch gets to see different cakes at one stretch and every one can share ideas, help each other and come out with beautifully decorated cakes. This is challenging, as you will be creating your own theme by selecting the figurines you have done together or new ones.

You can create different animals like duck, giraffe, teddy etc or select a theme like baby shower, chota bheem, doraemon or hello kitty.

We also help you choose themes. see the pictures below to get an idea how participants have done different cakes.
