2nd Year - 2026-27

Our 2nd Year Youth Baking Academy students kicked off their first weekend by stepping into the exciting world of fondant! 🎂 They practiced covering cakes smoothly with fondant, creating decorative fondant accents, and forming beautiful fondant flowers. This weekend also marked the beginning of their journey into modeling and designing with different edible mediums, helping them build the skills they’ll use for more detailed and creative cake designs throughout the year. We’re so proud of the way they jumped in, practiced new techniques, and began turning simple cakes into edible works of art! ✨

🌸 Our 2nd Year Bakers are blooming! 🌸

This weekend, our Second-Year Youth Baking Academy students officially began their Gum Paste Flower Module, and what a beautiful start!!

Students worked hands-on creating roses, rosebuds, calla lilies, daisies, carnations, filler flowers, and even explored working with stems and structure while creating their own fantasy flowers. Along the way, they practiced shaping, thinning, veining, forming petals, and learning how small details can bring a sugar flower to life.

A very special THANK YOU to Satin Ice for supplying the gum paste our students are using to create these amazing flowers. 💚 Your continued support gives our young decorators the opportunity to learn, practice, and grow their skills using professional-quality products.

And they’re just getting started! 🌺

Next month, students will begin assembling their individual flowers into beautiful floral sprays and learn how to use petal dusts and color to add depth, shading, highlights, and realistic details to each flower.

From a little piece of gum paste…to a handcrafted sugar flower…to an entire floral arrangement — we can’t wait to see it all come together! 🌹✨

Take a look at what they started creating this weekend and leave our young bakers a little encouragement in the comments. They are doing an amazing job! 💚🤎🎂
