Our Christmas Cake Pop and Cookie Class 2011

In the spirit of Christmas, Sugar Rush created a cookie and cake pop class for our students. It was a great chance for some of our regulars to catch up and wish each other a happy holiday season, and also to learn more new skills to impress their loved ones!

What a fun, messy class! We taught students to cover cookies with icing, royal icing flood work, as well as fine piping and glitter everything in sight.

The cake pops were awesome. Snowmen everywhere, and forest of trees, as well as sprinkles and ornaments. For anyone who missed this class, we do have an Easter class on our schedule.

Happy Holidays and happy baking to everyone. Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you all in class next year! xx

French Provincial Cupcake Class

This is the newest cupcake class on offer at Sugar Rush. It is perfect for those students who have taken our other cupcake classes, or those who have some previous cake experience.  They are sophisticated, complex, refined and most of all delicious!

This class we will be honing your icing skills. We will be teaching you how to make the perfect delicate ribbon rose, work with molds and cutters. You will also get a chance to do some silver hand-painting as well as those perfect stripes. 

This class is all about pushing students to use different tools and equipment, as well as becoming more comfortable with technical cake terms, although for those of you who have attended our classes, there will still be our usual antics and bizarre pet names for what we teach. There has to be fun and laughter to make Sugar Rush go round!

Students will be creating much more realistic blossom flowers this time as well as using impressions, patchwork cutters, fine piping, and even two tone piping. We want to expand your skills set and push you to try new things. We have fallen in love with these designs, and we hope you will too!

If you are interested in attending our classes, please call us on (02) 4948 1286

Our Sugarpaste Roses Class

Last Tuesday we had the great pleasure of teaching 4 of our students how to create stunning sugarpaste roses. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the girls all came early, excited to see what they were going to create. The class was made up of one super sweet bride of ours, Gabby, a decorating machine! Kat, and two new converts, Kendall and Michelle, who thanks in part to our classes have discovered a new passion: Cakes and Icing!!!

In class we taught how to make the perfect "imperfect" rose, a closed peony, and a wild open rose. All have their own ways of creating petals, shaping, veining, and drying. All with their own little tips and tricks. 

Over the day long class, we spent much of the time working at a nice calm pace. The students were amazingly fast learners, and it was incredible to see their flowers taking shape in front of them. We really had a wonderful day sharing our experience and teaching techniques that were quite new and foreign to our students. But they kept an open mind, and continued to see their creations grow. The sense of pride they exhibited once the final open rose was complete was inspiring. All the girls did amazing. Their creations are below, and I hope this class inspires them to continue creating beautiful floral cakes and sweets. 

Happy Decorating!

Couture Cupacke Class - Sunday 21st August 2011

We are pleased to announce the newest class in our Cupcake Courses - Couture Cupcakes

This is a beginners class that will teach a variety of skills, perfect for anyone interested in learning how to make sophisticated, classic, and delicious cupcakes.

In this course, you will learn how to work with buttercream, to produce our perfect soft serve ice-cream swirl, as well as make a delicate ruffle design.

 

 

We will also cover cupcakes in Satin Ice fondant, and create lace flowers, sugar pearls, icing bows and work on those fine piping skills by creating swiss dots with royal icing.

 

This class will again, include the use of all our own tools, meaning there is nothing else to purchase for the class, and we will supply you with one of our cupcake recipes to bake these stunning cupcakes to perfection in your own home. 

First class will commence Sunday 21st August 10am to 2pm. More classes to follow in the coming months, hoping to have one every month, though they may vary from weekday to weekend, and possibly a stint in the vineyards.
