Amber of "Cake with Amber" is a hyperrealism specialist and a regular Cake! Magazine columnist. She takes you through all three projects step by step, with a live Q&A every week to coach your own cakes.
The illusion is all in the technique: how you colour, texture, detail and plate. This class hands you a clear system for three showstopper projects, then coaches you live on your own cakes every week.
Realistic colouring, texture building, finishing details and presentation, taught step by step across three projects, with the fixes for when it goes wrong.
Each week you work, then bring it to a live Q&A with Amber and Emma. Real coaching on your real cakes, not just a video you watch alone.
You finish with the steak hero project plated and shot for camera, plus a set of illusion techniques you can repeat on any cake.
A new project releases in the Cake! app each week. You get a full week to work through it, then join the teacher live for a Q&A and feedback. Every session is recorded and yours to revisit any time.
Look like oysters. Taste like chocolate.
Freshly shucked oysters recreated in cake, chocolate and sugar! It's the small details that blur the line between cake and reality.
Cake for breakfast.
A classic café breakfast recreated in cake and sugar, complete with glossy finishes and realistic food textures.
Char marks, medium-rare, all sponge.
Realistic char marks, a pink medium-rare centre with the right colour transition, and a crispy fat edge. Plate it like a steakhouse and shoot it for your portfolio. The last live Q&A is all about plating and shooting for camera.
