About the final project for: Floral Cake Design: Paint with Cocoa Butter

Floral Cake Design: Paint with Cocoa Butter

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. It has been a genuine joy sharing my knowledge and experience with you. Thank you so much. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the course. Now I would like to remind you of some of the most important steps we gave throughout the course and that you should remember when you start doing your course project: 
 Researching the Idea Decide on the flowers you would like to use in your cake design.

Sketching Out the Design Draw your cake design on paper, thinking about where you want each flower to go. You can experiment with different compositions at this stage.
Covering the Cake and Creating the Canvas Cover your cake with sugarpaste and let it set before painting.
Transferring the Design onto the Cake Mark out your pre-designed template onto the cake to give you a guideline for painting. You can skip this stage if you feel confident free handing your painting!
Starting to Paint Lastly, mix your paint and paint your flowers!
And that's all! Thank you so much for taking part. I can't wait to see your cake! You can share your project with all of us by clicking on 'Create your project.' Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. If you have any questions, be sure to ask them! I will reply as soon as I can, but in the meantime, I encourage you to interact with each other. Communication fuels creativity. So, don't be afraid to reach out and collaborate with others. But most of all, have fun! See you in the forum!”
