Fall Cake Foundations: Filling, Frosting, & Fondant Details (Nov. 8)

Part 1 of Our 2-Part Beginner Series / November 8, 2025

Celebrate the season while learning the fundamentals of cake decorating in Cake Hoopla’s beginner-friendly Fall Cake Foundations class! Students will work with a real three-layer cake and gain hands-on experience stacking, filling, and frosting with an elegant swirl finish—core techniques every decorator should know. This class one goes a step further by introducing fondant: students will create pumpkins and marbled autumn leaves, then learn to cascade them down the side of the cake for a professional finish.

Whether you're brand new to decorating or want to reinforce the basics, this class sets you up for success with a strong foundation.

By the end, students will leave with a beautiful fall centerpiece that feeds around 12, as well as the skills to recreate the look for holidays, birthdays, and beyond.

• A 3-layer, 6" cake (serves ~10) in your choice of flavor, with vegan chocolate and gluten-friendly fetti options available
