Workshop Description:

Camilo Murcia of By.Aletoso Luxury Cakes will be offering two one-day masterclasses at
the 2024 ACADA International Cake Show Australia on how to push the boundaries of buttercream
and to discover the versatility of wafer/rice paper. Camilo loves to share his passion, skills and
knowledge for cake design and crafts each masterclass around one of his popular designs. The
masterclasses will focus on the core techniques that cake designers need to develop to create a
similar cake on their own.

Both masterclasses will include Camilo’s signature AUSTRALIAN BUTTERCREAM recipe is
especially developed to last in hot weather without using eggs. This specially crafted recipe is made
to last longer in room temperature in warm – hot climates and has a stability superior to the other
buttercream recipes. The consistency is softer than his previous buttercream, and is very glossy due
to the additional ingredients. It also contains less sugar per gram of butter.

Techniques and Skills You Will Learn: 

During Camilo's Regina Master Class you'll learn:
  • How to make By.Aletoso’s signature Egg-Less buttercream.
  • How to stack a round cake and make the pre-crumb layer.
  • How to cover a round cake with buttercream.
  • How to achieve very sharp edges on your cakes.
  • How to wrap printed sugar paper on your cakes.
  • How to create a 3D effect for flowers using palette knives.
  • How to create realistic orchids flowers with wafer paper.
  • How to create realistic peony flower with wafer paper.
  • How to cover and protect your sugar paper (printed designs) from wrinkles or damages after it is attached.
  • Plus lots of tips and techniques to make a perfect cake.

What you'll take home:

At the end of your class you'll take home your beautifully decorated  cake to share with your friends and family.

WORKSHOP FAQ

Limited Student Numbers & Class Timing:

Every workshop has limited numbers to ensure the very best tuition possible. The times given are guidelines. We understand all students work at different speeds, however in a workshop situation it's important you try to keep up. If you do, you'll go home with a finished project. If not, you will have learned the required skills and have some homework to complete. We cannot guarantee all classes will finish on time.

What You'll Take Home:

At the end of your workshop we'll provide you with a box to safely transport your project home. Be super proud, we'd love to be there to see the expression on your friends' and family's faces. What you'll be making in this workshop is guaranteed to "WOW"!  

​Workshop Ticket Inclusions: 

Your workshop ticket includes a 3 day International Cake Show Australia pass valued at $75.
You DO NOT need to buy a separate show entry ticket.  Your workshop ticket gives you access to all areas of the show other than the paid areas such as workshops, mini classes, paid demonstration area and VIP lounge. These are separate ticketed items.

Your workshop ticket includes express show entry, access to all stages, more than 100 free demonstrations, all the huge sugar features including the new walk through House of Horror,  competition display, cookie zone, bridal zone, sweet street, to all the shops and lots more. It gives you show access for all three days (Friday, Saturday & Sunday). 

Everything you need to complete your class is provided. All tools and equipment provided are for use during your workshop only. These can't be taken home. They need to be left at the end of your workshop, as they are needed for the following classes. If you wish to purchase any of the tools or equipment used, they will be available at various vendor stands at the show. Many of the vendors will be selling at highly discounted prices, so you'll be able to pick up lots of bargains. Your teacher will explain what you need and how you can improvise where possible, however they'll also tell you the best places to source any items you may need to purchase, if you want to recreate your project again at home.

Tea, coffee and cake (of course) is provided. 

What You Need to Bring: 

You need to bring an apron, a bottle of water if needed, a light lunch and a smile. Every workshop is packed full of invaluable skills, techniques and tips you'll use for many years to come, they're also lots of fun. Why not consider inviting your bestie to come share in your funfilled learning experience. 

Is there a payment plan available? 

Yes. You have the choice of paying in full at the time of your booking, or alternately we can organise an interest free payment plan for you. We understand many of our students want to book multiple classes and it can be expensive to pay for them all at once. If you wish to pay via a payment plan, when checking out please select the "Invoice" option. We will then contact you to discuss suitable payment instalments, then invoice you. A 25% deposit is required to secure your booking. The remainder you can pay in monthly instalments. Please note full payment must be paid no later than one month before your first workshop. 

What if I book a class then see something else I prefer, can I transfer? 

Yes of course you can, providing there are places available and your new class is of a similar value. If not you'll need to pay the difference. You are able to swap classes up until 14 days prior to the show. 

What if I can't make it, am I able to get a refund?

In the event there aren't sufficient student numbers to make the class economically viable, or the teacher is unable to make it due to being unwell we will provide you with as much notice as possible and provide you with the choice of an immediate 100% refund or option to transfer into another workshop, the choice is yours! In the event you aren't able to make it you are welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else. We begin preparations for the workshops months before the show, therefore refunds unfortuantely aren't available. If you need to transfer your ticket to someone else, please ensure you contact us to let us know, so we can welcome them. ​
