Bird cage cake class inspired by michelle cake designs
11th and 12th October 2011
Two day class where you will learn how to construct a bird cage cake no matter how many guests the cake needs to serve.
Bird cage cakes are so popular with good reason – they look spectacular. They easily match the reception decor, invitations and are the perfect design for an outdoor event.
Learn how to set up what is essentially a three tier cake with a centre pole so that it is stable and easily transported. Ganache a cake to result in a smooth finish and shaping the top give the dome of the cage and wrapping a cake.
This bird cage is simply decorated with spring flowers in a colour selection of your choice.
It is a two day class starting sharply at 9.30am and finishing at 3.30pm each day. Everything is provided including class notes and light snacks.
The class will be held at Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs, 60 Old Northern Road, Baulkham Hills NSW 2153 Australia with plenty of off street parking.
The price is $500.00 gst included and numbers are strictly limited. Positions are held with a non refundable 50% deposit and the balance is payable before the class date.
If you would like to be a part of this class or have further questions please send an email to inspiredbymichelle@gmail.com
I hope to see you there.
Bye for now, Michelle

Would love to see a video on how you are able to use your ganache to result in a smooth finish! Or? Do you have a video already out like that? :0)
LOVE your stuff! Its like Christmas waiting for your next blog post!!! Except when you post your classes and your thousands of miles away… ;0(
Hi Trudi, if you click on the tutorial tab at the top of each page you will find a 3 part free video tutorial on how to make ganache, how to ganache a cake, and how to cover a cake to get the sharp edges. Enjoy! Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle,
This would have been really helpful to me a couple of weeks ago….I had to do one for a wedding last weekend – I love the design and like you said, it is so incredibly versitile.
I am really looking forward to coming down – I should have booked an earlier flight and signed up for all of your classes for the week!
Hi Michelle will you be putting on more classes next year I cant make the dates for the birdcage class but I am hoping I don’t completely miss out?
Yes Mannie there will be classes for next year. I’m just trying to work out if the majority of people would like to do classes on a week day or weekend. Which do you prefer?
Hi Michelle
that’s great, I would prefer a weekend class I have young children and need my husband to babysit for me
Thanks
Wow Michelle!!!! Stunning! So elegant !!!!! Love yr style! xxx
Hi Michelle,
I came to your first class on 3rd Sept had a wonderful day and learnt heaps. The cake looked so good I’ve been asked to make my God Son’s christening cake – however they’ve asked for vanilla. Should I make the cake using a Bakels mix and if so a vanilla one or white mud and add muffin mix? HELP…please. Thanks Deb
That’s wonderful!! You do not need to mix the bakels white mixes so use which ever you can find. The tip is to bake at a lower temperature – it takes longer but the result is much nicer. Also a little extra vanilla and some lemon zest is a nice touch. Have fun with the Christening cake. Bye for now, Michelle
