A lot of the things done in baking and cake decorating today have very old roots. Many of them don’t necessarily apply anymore but you still do them, why? Because everyone else does them that way and no one is telling you otherwise. Until now.
Forget wasting hours on end combing through Youtube videos. Forget wasting hard earned cash on mini courses that only show you a section of the whole process i.e buttercream recipe, a particular finish or just a style of decorations.
The Modern Buttercream Cake Creator is the ONLY course you’ll need to learn EVERYTHING.
I know I’ve written a review for this course before but I Just CANT get over it. Every SINGLE time I make this cake I’m just left in awe at how easily it came together and how great it tastes. OBSESSED.
I loved working through this course, the videos and written material were both very in-depth and worked well together. All the tips and quanity information was much appreciated. having Thao answer questions in timely manner was also great and the Facebook group could help with questions too, would highly recommend
Before I found this course, I was struggling to get a sharp and crumbless finish on my cakes. I looked everywhere, but couldn’t find any tutorials or recipes that included everything I needed. I was pretty clueless about everything, from what size cake pan and how much batter and icing to what type of icing I should even use. Every blog and website said something different and nothing told me how to make a modern, bespoke buttercream cake. I found Don’t Tell Charles via Instagram, and loved their modern style of cakes. I then saw that they offered courses, and knew that I had to try it. Buttercream Mastery tells you everything you need to know to make beautiful cakes. Everything. From recipes, to charts, to exactly how to torte, fill, ice, and smooth the buttercream on your cakes. This course has it all. You can even comment any questions you have and Thao will answer them. And, you have it for life so you can go back and reference it as much as you want. Would 110% buy again!
I was so stumped on how to get sharp edges and modern finishes on my cakes, but thanks to Thao’s class, I’m now in the know! I feel so empowered now to experiment and develop my own style informed by the techniques taught in this course. My favorites: marbled chocolate sails and watercolor buttercream. Not to mention how clearly the base cake and buttercream techniques are explained. You won’t be disappointed!
This course has truly changed my buttercream game big time. I decided to invest in and take my craft seriously at the start of this year and rewatching this course was top on my list. I have to say, my cakes are already looking exponentially better. Thank you That for a well detailed course packed with value.
I have enjoyed this course and gained so much knowledge in creating smooth sides & sharp edges on my cakes. All the tips and tricks are so valuable and I already feel more confident. I love the chocolate designs and watercolour cake chapters, such a lovely addition to any cake. The vanilla cake recipe supplied is delicious and wonderful for stacking a perfect cake! I’ve had lots of compliments. The buttercream recipe is not only delicious too but so easy to work with to create a perfectly smooth cake. Also, love the support offered by the facebook group and opportunity to get any issues or questions answered. Thank you so much!
We’ll show you from start to finish the modern process in creating contemporary buttercream masterpieces.
Baking and cake decorating is still predominantly old school. In order to create modern cakes, you first need to carry a modern mindset. This means two things. One, moving away from the old, traditional way of learning. Two, valuing yourself – your physical and mental well being, your time, and your creative energy. Everything we teach you in this course is based around these philosophies.
