How to make 3d ball cakes class
3d ball cake decorating class
How to make 3d ball cakes class at Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs. Hands on class to learn how to sculpt a 3d ball cake starting from square cakes.
I’m often asked how I make my 3D ball cakes so in this hands on class you will learn how I take square cakes and turn them into 3D balls but I must add I usually have my fingers crossed at the same time!!
3D ball cakes can be used for so many designs and in this class different ideas will be explained especially the soccer / football but because of timing we will be finishing it in a celebration bomb design in colours of your choice. This is wonderful for 21st birthdays, mens cakes which are often hard to design for and as it is close to Valentines day maybe a LOVE bomb!!

cake decorating details class Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs
I think this three day Decorating Details class is going to cover just about every aspect of decorating finishes.

Areas covered will include -
* quilting – quick and easy method for both square and diamond quilting. See how easy it is to quilt both round and square cakes with no fancy tools and see how it will look before you quilt the actual cake. Various ways of finishing the quilt pattern.
* stenciling the fear demystified and learn how to cut your own stencils and how they can be used for embossing.
* piping details a decorative design, borders and perfect dots. How to make royal icing and the consistency needed for both details and borders.
* brush embroidery a design to learn the consistency of royal icing needed for this effect.

Beginners Big Beautiful Roses Class
gumpaste roses for beginners class
A wonderful two day class where you will learn how to make sugar gumpaste roses in various colour shades with matching buds and leaves.
No previous experience needed to attend this class – I promise these really are easy!!
I love using a big single rose to decorate a top tier sometimes it is all that is needed to make an elegant statement and not only for wedding cakes. Being practical it is also a lot easier to make one big rose than a dozen roses to fill a top tier and when they are made well they really do look spectacular!!
In this class you will learn a simple technique to assemble large roses, veining, shading roses and leaves, wiring rose leaves and a simple rose bouquet.
This class is all about roses, you will complete five large roses with matching buds and leaves. Doing this many roses means by the end of the two days the technique will be firmly imprinted in your mind!!

February 6th, 7th and 8th Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 2012 Decorating details class
Hi Michelle,
I have silly question. The class is really attractive. But may I know if there is no light lunch at all (not even a sandwich?), like the square cake class last time green pears and muesli bars? Thanks.
HI Lena, good question. With the one day class there just isn’t time for a lunch break so I have found it is much easier and logical to have healthy snacks that can be eaten throughout the day. With the three day class the schedule is totally different and we will be able to break for lunch. Bye for now, Michelle
HI Michelle
I would really love to attend the White Collection and the Huge roses. classess…unfortunately i work full time. Are you thinking of running these course on the weekend??
Thanks
Catheirne
Hi Catherine, someone else has asked if The White Collection could be run in the school holidays. I have checked my books and I could probably run a class on the saturday 14th and sunday 15th January. If those dates suit you and I get enough people for the class I would love to run the class. Please let me know if these dates would suit you.
Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Catherine, just to let you know I have changed the date of one of The White Collection Classes to a weekend. Thank you for your feedback.
HI Michelle. thanks for the email. I noticed that you now have it for the Sat and Sun Feb 11th and 12th. Please add me to the list if you still have a spot. Thanks Catherine
Thank you Catherine I will email you with the deposit details. I have added your name to the list. I look forward to seeing in class.

Hi Michelle,
Are you going to have these same classes again in the next few months as I can only do a couple of them now, but don’t want to miss out on the rest?
Hi Apolline, if a class is popular then yes I will be running it again later in the year.
Thanks for the reply Michelle. I can’t imagine any class not being popular as all your work is so beautiful and we’re lucky to have you teaching us. Can you please put my name down for the 3d ball cake class, for now?
Can you also put me down for the bird cage class please Michelle? Have a safe Christmas and all the best for 2012.
Thank you Apolline, I have put your name on both class lists. i will email you the details. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle
I am interested in the ‘How to Ganache and cover a Square Cake Class’ on March 1st – is previous experience necessary for this? Also how long will the cake last once made ?
Hi Susan, some experience with ganache or layering cakes is necessary for this class – just basic knowledge that is all, this should not be your first cake. The cake will last 5 days. Any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle
I was wondering if you do any classes in melboure? Is this on your agenda in 2012? I would love to do a class with you.

Hi Di, thank you for asking. I would love to but to be honest I have no idea on how to make it happen. Fingers crossed!! Bye for now, Michelle
Hello Michelle,
I really love your work and designs. I’ve been doing a lot of cupcakes lately but I’m quite daunted doing a cake. I do feel it’s about time that I have to give it a go so I’d like to enquire about the next available cake decorating course. I would prefer it on a weekend as I work full time as well. If you can send me details and options about your decorating courses, that’ll be great and I’ll reply as soon as I can so you can put me on your list. Thanks and have a wonderful New Year.
Kindest Regards,
Luisa
Hi Michelle!!!

Hi Lani, I ‘m coming to New Zealand at the end of March for a short break. I would love to teach there as I do get quite a few requests I just do not know how I can make this happen. I’m really looking forward to my trip, I’m going to check out all things cake!!!! Thank you for asking. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle,I was just wondering if you will be doing another class for the beginner with the bear , after feb ? Thankyou from Jodi
Hi Jodi, thank you for your interest! At this point I do not have another class scheduled but I’m sure I will be running one later in the year. Thank you for asking. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle, I am a big fan of yours and love your tutorials.
I to would love it if you were able to teach in Melbourne in the near future. Keeping my fingers (an legs) crossed. Helen
Hi Helen thank you for asking I have also been asked the same thing on facebook so hopefully it will happen soon. To be honest I do not know of any facilities in Melbourne where I can teach. It is something I need to look into. I will hopefully coming down for the garden show in March so I may look around.
Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle,
I am from Christchurch, New Zealand and was wondering if you have planned any courses for towards the end of this year, and if so what would the training location be (this would be so I wouldn’t book accommodation on the opposite side of Sydney).
I did notice by previous comments that you are coming to NZ in March! Would you be coming anywhere near christchurch (although I would fly to another location if you would teach and have arranged a training premise)
I would be interested in the decorating details class and The White Collection.
Many thanks
Olivia
Hi Olivia, thank you for your interest!! Yes I will be in NZ but it is now April for a week and I’m flying into Auckland. It is for a mini holiday and a look around I do not have any plans to teach. I am hoping to teach there but at this stage I really do not know how to make it happen. Yes I will more than likely be teaching in Sydney at the other end of this year and it will be in my studio which is located in Baulkham Hills (easy access from both Parramatta and Sydney city). Hopefully we will meet this year, thank you for asking.
Bye for now, Michelle
For those of us who cannot travel….could you, would you PLEASE consider making a dvd set of your classes??? especially the decorating details class….PLEASE….
Hi Michelle,
I was just enquiring about the decorating details class, I have had no real experience in piping as I have avoided it in the past but I really need to take the plunge and I am worried this class would be too advanced for me, but I have been cake decorating now for just over 2 years.
Thanks Michelle
Hi Michelle the only experience you need for this class is to be able to cover a cake as we need to do this fairly quickly so that we can get it out of the way. The emphasis is on decorating and really I will be showing you how easy it is to achieve these finishes. So please do not worry about your skill level at all – take the plunge I think you will be very suprised!!! Any other questions please do not hesitate to ask me. Bye for now, Michelle

HI Michelle, just sent it through for you. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle,
Will you be doing a 3D Owl Class on a Saturday in the near future?
H Carol, thank you for your interest. At this stage this is the only owl class I have planned. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask them. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Carol, just to let you know I am adding an 3D owl class on the Sunday February 26th. I have had a lot of enquiries for a weekend class!!! I hope this will suit you.
It’s a shame you will miss out I probably will not be running this class again – thanks for your interest. Bye for now, Michelle
Hello Michelle,
I am VERY interested in doing your 3D Owl Cake Class but as others have mentioned, I work full-time and weekend courses only would suit me – is there any chance of firstly, re-running this course again throughout the year and secondly, run it on a weekend?
Hi Linda, just to let you know I am adding an 3D owl class on the Sunday February 26th. I have had a lot of enquiries for a weekend class!!! I hope this will suit you.
Hi Michelle,
I was so excited that a 3D Owl cake class was added as a weekend class but not excited that it was Sunday 26th Feb – I have a kitchen tea that day! Thanks anyway.
Dear Michelle
My daughter and I would love to do a private tuition class with you. We live in the Middle East and would need to fly in and get accommodation near to you. Is it possible to tailor a course for us if I tell you what we are looking at learning and then giving us a price. Many thanks.
Lise, I would love to help you plan a visit. You can send the details to inspiredbymichelle@gmail.com Accommodation can be in Parramatta or the Sydney city as both can easily be reached by bus to my studio. I look forward to your email. Bye for now, Michelle
Dear Michelle
Thanks for your reply. Things are a little hectic for the next 3 or so weeks, but will surely send you a detailed email then.
Hi Michelle, I would like to attend your cake decorating class, the basic one or the square one with the bow. Do you have any more dates planned for March, I would really like to attend but need to plan ahead as I live interstate.
Thanks Michelle
Karen

Tina
Hi Tina, thank you for asking – yes I will I am just trying to work out a new design (maybe?) and a date to fit it in. When I do I will post it on this blog. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle,
Do you run classes using Kid’s Birthday Cakes as a theme, I have two girls aged 7 and 4 and wish to do something other than the Women’s Weekly Birthday cakes every year.
Thanks, Tania
Hi Tania, I will be adding another class soon which you might like especially if your girls go to dance class. It will be posted here soon. Thank you for asking. Bye for now, Michelle
Hi Michelle, was wondering if you made it Melbourne last weekend for the garden show and whether or not you found a facility to perhaps run few course down here in Melbourne? (Fingers crossed you did) As I would love to attend one of your courses here in Melbourne. If not, could you recommend a place to stay in Sydney that is near the teaching point please? Thank you
Hi Priscilla, yes I made it to Melbourne but ran out of time to do anything about cakes. I have students that fly in to do classes and they either stay in the city or Parramatta. Both are just a single bus ride to my studio with a bus stop at my door so very easy. Parramatta is closer but if you have not been to Sydney before it is nice to stay there and do some sightseeing. Please let me know if I can help you with any other information. Bye for now, MIchelle

Hi Michelle,
I am interested in your beginners class in May 27th / 28th.
Are you able to send me more information about what this class covers and if there are still spots availble.
Thanks,
Emma
Hi Emma, just so you know the beginners class is on the 20th May and yes there is a spot left – if you would like to join the class then you can email and I will send through the payment details – email inspiredbymichelle@gmail.com
The class is for anyone who has wanted to try decorating a cake – it really is easier than you think.
Everything is provided on the day. You need no prior experience in cake decorating for this class.
This is suitable for ages 14 and above.
The cake will be round as this is the easiest shape to learn. The cake will be a chocolate mud cake and you will learn how to layer ganache and cover the cake with rolled fondant.
The cake will be displayed on a fondant covered board.
As time is limited on the day a neutral design will be completed that will be suitable for any celebration in the colour scheme of your choice. We will make a fondant teddy bear to sit on the top.
It is a full day starting sharply at 9.30am and finishing at 4.30pm. Everything is provided including class notes and light snacks. Please wear comfortable shoes as you will be on your feet the entire day and they need to be closed in. Hair needs to be tied up and no jewellery to be worn.
The price is $300.00 gst included and numbers are strictly limited. Positions are held only with a non refundable 50% deposit and the balance is payable in full before the class date. Minimum numbers are needed for the class to be held. If these are not reached then deposits will be refunded.
Thank you for your interest. Bye for now, Michelle
