Couture Cake Sculpture

Learn how to design and build a realistic 3D sculpted purse cake in this advanced two-day hands-on class. This class focuses on structure, carving, and luxury finishing techniques used for high-end novelty and fashion-inspired cakes.

On Day 1, we’ll bake the cake, prepare Swiss meringue buttercream for filling, and apply chocolate ganache to create a strong, smooth base suitable for sculpting. You’ll learn how to properly stack, stabilize, and prepare the cake for carving.

On Day 2, you’ll sculpt the cake into a purse shape, cover it with fondant, and add realistic details such as texture, seams, and handles. You’ll also learn how to work with edible printed sugar sheets to create logos, patterns, or designer-style details. We’ll finish the cake with professional decorative elements to achieve a polished, luxury look. At the end of the class, you’ll take your finished 3D purse cake home.
