How many times have you passed in front of a pastry shop and thought to yourself, how do they make those amazing cakes look like such works of art? With international cake design instructor Julián Ángel — also known as @historiasdelciervo — you can learn to make spectacular pastry creations even as a beginner.

In this course, uncover the fascinating world of creative pastry and cake decorating step by step.

Using modern decorative techniques and Julián’s advice, you can learn how to become a great cake designer.

Description

Learn how to create textures, combine colors, and add effects to make unique cakes

To get started, Julián Ángel tells you how he went from being a graphic designer to traveling around the world as a cake designer. He shares his wide range of influences, from food bloggers to 20th century expressionist artists.

Learn how to search for visual references and sources of inspiration before drawing the interior and exterior of your project. With the design done, it’s time to define the measurements, the color palette, and the other elements needed to make it a reality.

Discover everything you need to create your cake, from leveling the cakes, stacking them, filling them, and assembling them with a crumb cover.

Design your pastry cream with a marbled effect and decorate it with white chocolate balls. And for the real “icing on the cake”, learn to apply some touches of edible gold to your creation.

Finally, Julián shows you some basic lighting and photography tricks so that your cake will stand out on social media. Finish the course with some tips for preserving your cake.
