The wedding décor theme was a blend of French garden and lounge inspirations. Emily and Souren wanted an elegant, yet comfortable atmosphere that highlighted the beautiful table settings, flowers, and ballroom details.
Guests will learn how to make their own cake masterpiece with the following lesson plan:
-Fundamentals of design
-Basics of flawless fondant application
-Stacking, leveling, and cake stability
-Creating details with depth of design
-Gilding and molding
-Arranging floral clusters and placement
-Fine embellishments and finishing touches
These invaluable techniques can be seen in Zehra’s “Siena” cake (pictured), inspired by the beauty and history of Siena, Italy. The cake draws likeness from the ornate Duomo di Siena, which boasts bold and intricate Gothic and Romanesque carvings. Siena also features key details of the cathedral including its marble floors, gilded architecture, and soft colors.
Zehra’s master class will take place on March 4, 2018 at Universal EventSpace in Toronto, Canada. Visit finecakesbyzehra.com for more details and to purchase your passes.
