Hey guys, today I’m so excited to tell you all about my new ebook, “The Naked Cake, A Step-by-Step Guide.”
This tutorial is something I did the bulk of the work on years ago, and– fun fact– it was actually for a double wedding! The cake made for this book was actually 2, twin cakes! Let me know if you can spot differences in any of the pictures.
At any rate, after years of sitting on my proverbial “Shelf,” I’m so thrilled that I have finally managed to get it all into one, comprehensive ebook to make available to you guys.
What made this tutorial come about?
Well, if you’ve been following my journey for any length of time, you would know this about me: I owned my own cake decorating company for about 9 years, during which time I focused primarily on wedding cakes!
I love making cakes, and I have wanted (for years) to be able to teach others to make them as well. I’ve taught some small classes here and there, but so far this is my first go at creating a “Course” for others to learn.
Is this a good tutorial for beginners?
YES! There are a few things you’ll probably need to pick up in order to make this cake, but if you can read and follow instructions, this book is designed for you! Throughout the book are high quality images to show you exactly what I’m talking about when I describe certain techniques, making it easy to follow.
