Still Life Painting – Cake Workshop

 

Join us for an immersive workshop where edible art meets classical still life painting.

In this unique experience, students will:

 

  • Choose their own reference painting to customize the composition and style.

  • Build an ornate cake frame, learning techniques to create a detailed, realistic still life-inspired arrangement.

  • Master Sona’s signature unbreakable and elastic sugar paste, which can be stretched incredibly thin—ideal for complex, delicate compositions, and will not break.

What You’ll Learn

 

Create a stunning bouquet of handcrafted sugar flowers, including:

  • Ranunculuses

  • Parrot Tulips

  • Roses

  • Irises

  • Carnations

  • Daffodils

Chocolate Vase Sculpture

 

You’ll also learn how to:

 

  • Sculpt a beautiful vase entirely from modeling chocolate, tailored to your still life theme.

  • Apply custom gold gilding to elevate your work with elegance and contrast—just like a classical painting.

Finishing Techniques

  • Learn both watercolor and oil painting effects using chocolate and edible pigments to give your work a timeless painterly look.

Bonus Artistic Training
