Santa Portait Painting Workshop
A Cake Yard workshop in collaboration with Edible Atelier
Get into the Christmas spirit and join us for a fun, festive day of creativity, painting and a little Christmas magic!
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to bring Santa to life using Edible Atelier edible paints. With step-by-step guidance, we'll explore the foundations of portrait painting, including colour mixing, building a portrait, layering, blending and creating depth and dimension.
You'll learn how to paint on fondant, how to work with edible paints and how to use different painting techniques to develop your artwork.
This is a painting-focused workshop, designed to help you build skills and confidence that you can transfer to your own cake creations.
Rather than painting directly onto a cake, you'll create your Santa portrait on a prepared fondant disc. We'll also demonstrate how to carefully cut out your finished artwork so you can use your masterpiece as a decoration on your own Christmas cake if you wish!
Whether you're new to edible painting or looking to develop your existing skills, come along for a relaxed and festive day of learning, creativity and fun, with plenty of individual guidance along the way.
