Mermaid Cake Decorating Workshop 🧜‍♀️

Ready to take your cake decorating skills a little further? This hands-on workshop goes beyond basic piping, combining buttercream, rice paper sails and fondant techniques to create a beautiful mermaid-inspired cake.

DATE: Saturday 14 November 2026

TIME: 9:30am-2:30pm (approx 5 hours)

COST: $295 per person

LOCATION: Be Caked home studio, Buderim

As Be Caked operates from a private home studio, the address isn’t publicly listed. Full address and arrival details will be provided to booked guests in the welcome email the week before your class.

What you’ll learn

We’ll work through the cake step-by-step, covering techniques including:

Preparing, filling and stacking your cake (5" cake - 4 layers)
Achieving a smooth buttercream finish and demonstrated how to make a wave effect
Creating a soft ombré/tonal buttercream effect
Making, shaping and colouring rice paper sails
Working with rice paper to create movement, height and texture
Working with fondant and silicone moulds to create detailed decorations
Arranging your decorations for a balanced, professional finish
Troubleshooting and practical cake decorating tips throughout

Some fondant decorations require additional drying time and will be prepared prior to the workshop so they’re ready to use on your finished cake. However, everyone will still get hands-on experience working with fondant and moulds during the class, so you’ll understand how to recreate these elements yourself at home.

This is a more technical workshop than the cupcake piping or highland cow class, but you don’t need to be an experienced cake decorator to attend. I’ll demonstrate each stage and guide you through the entire process.

Classes are limited to just 6 people, allowing plenty of time for questions and individual guidance.

Everything required for the workshop is supplied, and your finished mermaid cake will be boxed ready to take home.

Please note: Workshops are for adults and attendees aged 16+ only.

If you’d like to expand your decorating skills beyond piping and learn some of the techniques used to create modern celebration cakes, this is a great class to build your confidence and try something new. 🩷
