About this event

Dumpling All the Way Cake Class

Create the cutest little Christmas dumpling cake, complete with an adorable personality and festive details that are almost too precious to eat!

What You'll Create

Each student will create and decorate one 6-inch Christmas dumpling cake , transforming a traditional round cake into an adorable dimensional dumpling complete with its signature pleated shape, sweet little face, and festive holiday accents.

We'll be working with butter vanilla cake and smooth, velvety Swiss meringue buttercream , along with fondant, modeling chocolate, and other edible decorative elements to bring our Christmas dumpling to life.

Please note: The image shown is our inspiration for this class. The final student design may vary slightly as we adapt the concept into a real, fully edible cake. Actual class photos will be posted once the final cake design is completed.
