Class Information Are you intrigued by the trendy new style of "Russian" piping tips? Join Chef Jessie Riley to learn how to take your cake decorating skills to a new level. Italian meringue buttercream will be demonstrated, and various ways to flavor it will be reviewed. You will then practice how to "control" your general piping skills. Various options for coloring buttercream will be shown, and then you will practice piping with the chef before decorating a selection of cupcakes to take home.
