Palette Knife Art

Embrace your inner van Gogh and learn the art behind this trending technique! In the fourth of five Buttercream Essentials Certificate classes, brought to you by NY Cake Academy’s Cake Decorating Fundamentals, you’ll learn this recently adapted process to artistically place forms of color and texture using palette knives. Commonly used to create striking, two-dimensional flowers, these decorations purposely do not aim to mimic real life flowers. The result is a rich, intense visual display that appears abstract and modern, much like a painting! Explore different strokes through palette knife drills before learning to create an edible artist palette to begin decorating your very own Palette Knife Flower Cake using Italian Meringue Buttercream.

What You’ll Learn:

-Spatula, Silicone Small

-Difference between various types of buttercream

-How to use a piping bag, couplers and tips

-To assemble a cake with a nut paste filling 

-Practice decorating using a turntable

-Various palette knives and their application
