In this ongoing, beginner, cake decorating course, we’ll cover one piped decorating element or flower each week. This way, learners will have plenty of time to master each element before moving on to the next one.
Piping icing never goes out of style! In fact piped icing flowers are making a huge comeback!
Just so you know, I don’t pipe these elements live during class time. I’ve pre-recorded all of them so that not only can I efficiently repeat all of the videos for learners as needed, I can also keep my full attention on coaching learners as they work. If I can see their hands during class I can coach them.
I encourage learners to make and explore different icing recipes throughout this course. I will supply two at the start but there are many more to explore.
No cakes will be needed for this class but learners are more than welcome to practice these decorating elements on anything they bake.

Parents, please understand that teachers keep less than 50% of the list price.
The Outschool fee is -30% for all income teachers make for each class on this platform. Then I have to pay my self-employment taxes, electricity, high speed internet, software subscriptions, and the time to build the courses etc. I also need to be paid for the time I spend answering messages and my energy and time to teach live classes.
Effective June 2023 I’m setting all of my pricing to reflect a one to one class (no more group rate pricing) so that no one has to wait on other learners to enroll before I teach the class.
Extra learners can be added and that income will help fund me so I can make more great courses. Thank you for your support! *********************************************************************************************************************************************

Parental Guidance
Parents, learners may need help operating an electric mixer to make their icing for this class.
I may or may not give learners extra Youtube links of other cake decorators to inspire them.
Supply List
Supplies needed Decorators frosting of some type for each class. Flowers it needs to be a bit thicker than boarders. Try different recipes or just grab some from your local deli. They usually will sell you some. Other supplies: Medium sized flower nail wax paper squares tear drop/pedal tip such as Wilton #102, 103 or 104 Star tips of different sizes such as Wilton #16, 18, 21 or 32 Round tips of any size such as Wilton #1 3, 5, 7 Grass/hair tip such as Wilton #233 Leaf tip #352 A couple of "drop flower" tips like "Russian" tips etc. Several rings and couplers for the bags are great so if they want to change tips they can. Reusable bags are really the better option for cake decorating since the disposable ones tend to burst.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Bob Jones University
Nothing more rewarding, as an educator, than to see faces light up with joy after accomplishing something they thought was much too difficult to accomplish!
Sometimes, a learner needs to be gently nudged beyond what they think they can do. Tears and frustration sometimes follow but are usually just an outburst of fear and a ploy for me to let them give up.
Because of my years of one-on-one teaching experiences, as a teacher (and the mother of two), I feel I’ve mastered the crucial teaching finesse of helping learners through their learning fears.
As a seasoned learner and educator (and never a brick and mortar teacher) my super power is creating a fun, patient, loving and safe atmosphere for students of all ages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because of my passion for learning, home education and teaching, I committed and took the ultimate plunge and educated my own two children (son and daughter) at home from the time they were born (they were never in day care) until they both started in an early middle college.
Early middle college is where students take a high school along with a combined schedule with real college classes all on a technical college campus. Both started taking real college classes at age 14, both finished a bachelor degree by age 21 and graduated with honors.
At age 16, I was hired for my first official job, at my local music store to teach private piano lessons. I taught many students in my two years there and then I went on to earn my B.S. in Music Education. Since then, I've taught private piano lessons over the years to folks from ages 4-84.
For 3.5 years I was with VIPKid and taught 5,922 one on one, twenty five minute, online, immersion English lessons to 1680 different Chinese children ages 3-16.
For 4 semesters, I was one of around 150 elite teachers, hand picked out of over 160,000 teachers to be allowed to teach classrooms full of rural Chinese students in a live online session. That was super fun!
Currently, I’m a “Master” piano and voice instructor at my local Music & Arts store and at a booming dance and music studio, as well as teaching lessons in my own home.
I'm extremely busy 56 year old and in high demand, teaching all of my talents and hobbies.
Over my life, as a curious and hard working "multipotentialite", I've definitely not been afraid to push myself constantly, at every age, to learn new and exciting things.
