You know the ones. Soft colors, elegant piping, borders so clean they look like they came from a 1950s bakery window. You've saved them. You've wondered if you could actually make one.

You can. Chef Carla will show you.

This hands-on class is built for beginners who want real results. No experience with piping bags, no decorating background — just a willingness to try something beautiful. Chef Carla walks you through every step, from getting your icing smooth to building the layered details that make a vintage cake look like it took years to learn.

By the end of the night you'll have practiced:

• Smooth icing on a 6-inch cake — the foundation everything else builds on
• Shell borders and classic vintage piping styles
• Rosettes and layered textures
• Simple color techniques that give that soft, timeless finish
  

You decorate your own cake during class and take it home in a box. More importantly, you leave knowing you can do it again — for birthdays, holidays, and any moment that deserves something made by hand.

Bring your wine. Bring a friend. Leave with a cake worth showing off.

Reserve your seat. Spots are limited and this one fills fast.
