About the event
Back by popular demand! Calling all cake lovers, watercolor enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys a little indulgence. In Let Them Eat Cake, we combine the sweet joy of painting with the delicious satisfaction of dessert. Paint a beautiful still life of a decadent, real cake—complete with frosting swirls, sugar flowers, and maybe even a little sparkle—before enjoying a slice of the cake you just painted. It’s art, it’s dessert, it’s pure bliss!
What You’ll Do:
Paint a whimsical, colorful still life of a freshly baked cake—think rich layers of cake, glossy frosting, and sweet, intricate details like edible flowers or delicate piping.
Learn how to capture the textures and shine of the cake's frosting, the soft crumb of the cake itself, and the playful elements that make your painting pop.
Practice mixing vibrant hues to mimic real-life food colors and applying techniques to create light and shadow that makes your cake…
