This 4-day hands-on intensive course is designed for anyone serious about mastering the art of Korean-style buttercream flower cakes. From building a strong foundation to learning advanced techniques, this course covers everything you need to create hyper-realistic buttercream flowers with professional finish.
Perfecting your piping techniques— You’ll learn essential methods required to create detailed, lifelike flowers—each petal shaped with precision using authentic Korean-style techniques. We’ll explore everything from basic petal forms to complex multi-layered flowers, with step-by-step guidance.
How to make the perfect buttercream —A critical element for achieving clean, defined shapes. During class, I will demonstrate how to create a buttercream that has the right structure and stability to hold intricate flower forms, while still being smooth, light, and delicious. You’ll learn the balance between texture and taste—so your flowers not only look beautiful but are a joy to eat as well.
Color palette and mixing techniques— I’ll introduce an innovative and easy method to build beautiful, natural-looking palettes without the guesswork. You’ll learn how to blend tones efficiently and confidently, with minimal waste, to bring your flowers to life in a soft, harmonious way. These techniques will help you achieve the subtle, refined look that defines Korean-style buttercream flowers.
Flower arrangement and cake composition—Learning how to place each bloom in a way that feels balanced, natural, and visually stunning. You’ll explore how to create movement, elevation, and rhythm within your designs, bringing your arrangements to life with a sense of flow and dimension. Understanding these principles is key to turning individual flowers into a beautiful, cohesive composition that feels both organic and intentional.
You’ll also be introduced to bean paste, an innovative material that offers a different textural quality and opens up new creative possibilities for buttercream design. It allows you to push the limitations of traditional buttercream flowers, enabling finer details and more sculptural forms that are difficult to achieve with buttercream alone.
With over 8 years of experience in the industry and teaching, I’ll be guiding you every step of the way. By the end of this course, you’ll have essential recipes, reliable techniques, and the confidence to create stunning Korean buttercream flower cakes that truly stand out.
