What will you learn?

Wafer Paper Flowers

Start your texture journey with the delicate beauty of wafer paper. You’ll learn techniques across three levels—from creating simple filler flowers to mastering Monica’s signature Moreish Cakes wafer paper rose. This lesson builds your confidence and skills in shaping, layering, and designing with this elegant, edible medium.

Rice Paper Techniques

This week is all about the versatile and dramatic effects you can achieve with rice paper. Across three skill levels, you’ll learn how to colour, shape, and transform rice paper into stunning decorative elements. From basic sails and simple filler pieces to sculpted rice paper flowers, Monica will show you how to control this delicate medium to create movement, texture, and modern elegance on your cakes.

Fondant Textures

This week focuses on adding depth and detail to your designs using fondant. At the beginner level, you'll explore simple but effective embossing techniques and royal icing overlays. For intermediate decorators, Monica introduces a beautiful wafer-like fondant texture that adds a delicate, fabric-inspired finish. Advanced students will dive into the art of controlled crackle, learning how to achieve that bold, weathered look that’s perfect for modern, high-impact cakes.

Edible Fabrics

Step into the world of edible fabric textures with a focus on soft, flowing finishes that mimic real textiles. You’ll learn how to create wafer lace, flexible wafer fabric, and crepe-style wafer paper—all with an emphasis on avoiding cracks and maintaining pliability. Monica will guide you through proper handling, treatment, and storage techniques to ensure your edible fabrics are not only beautiful but also easy to work with and apply to your cakes.

Impression Techniques

This week is all about creating texture through imprinting and shaping. You'll start with innovative techniques using everyday kitchen tools to add basic texture. Next, you'll explore draping and folding methods to bring movement and fabric-like effects to your designs. Finally, you’ll take it up a notch with advanced texturing using pattern plates, impression mats, and rolling pins to create detailed, professional-looking surfaces with ease.

Buttercream Textures

Wrap up the course with the beauty and versatility of buttercream. You’ll begin by mastering textured buttercream finishes—perfect for rustic, modern, or romantic cake styles. Then, you’ll move into creating fantasy-style buttercream flowers that are bold and full of character. To finish, Monica will teach you her signature 3D sculpted buttercream flowers—showstopping blooms with depth, detail, and a fine-art finish that elevate any cake design.
