Gumpaste Peony Class with Chef Ruth Drennan

Iva's gumpaste peony

The Gumpaste Peony Class with Chef Ruth Drennan, Ruth Drennan Cakes, was a lot of fun! Ruth is a very patient instructor with a relaxed style that made it easy to learn the flower. She graciously shared behind the scenes information about her experiences on "Amazing Wedding Cakes" with former Cake Atelier partner, Lauri Ditunno, and tips and hints to improve our gumpaste work. One helpful tip is to purchase a cheap white knee-high stocking and use it to hold cornstarch. Works like a charm! Why not join us at our future meetups? For more information, contact Dina, NYC Cake Decorators Meetup.

See you there!

Iva did a great job as did the rest of the group. It was a lot of fun. I took a pic of my finished peony which I am going to upload to the Meetup.

Ruth is a really nice person. I hope that we can meetup with her again soon.
