Boot Camps 101/201 and 301/401 are based upon Joseph Lambeth's English method of piping, one of the most distinguished forms of cake decorating, and a "must know" for any serious cake decorator.
Levels 101/201 and 301/401 will be taught concurrently. For those students who are new to the Lambeth method Kathleen will teach the 101/201 skills, and students who have previously taken the 101/201 Boot Camp will learn the more advanced 301/401 skills.
In 101/201 students will learn the basics of the Lambeth method and how to hold the decorating bags and tips properly. Kathleen will demonstrate the techniques and will help the students make the perfect zigzag, shell, scalloped swag border, string of pearls, rope scallop, 3-D overpiping and basic stringwork. All techniques will be completed as time permits, and dependent upon the student's skill level of piping and cake decorating. Prerequisite: Basic cake decorating and piping skills.
In 301/401 students will learn more advanced techniques and borders, including trellis borders and cushion lattice piping work. All techniques will be completed as time permits, and dependent upon the student's skill level of piping and cake decorating. Prerequisite: Boot Camp 101/201.
