My Online Cake Decorating Course is HERE!

February 27, 2025 · In: Featured, Lifestyle

Many of you have been asking for an online course from me for YEARS and I’m so thrilled to say that it’s FINALLY HERE! I had the wonderful opportunity to film this all-encompassing cake course with Domestika to help you learn everything you need to know about baking and decorating beautiful cakes for birthdays and other celebrations. It’s available in EIGHT languages and designed to go at your own pace. Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been caking for a while but want to sharpen your skills, this course is sure to level you up!

Here’s the course trailer:

Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

  • Planning the Cake
  • Baking the Perfect Vanilla Funfetti Cake
  • Making, Flavoring, and Coloring Buttercream
  • Building a Sturdy Layer Cake
  • Frosting a Smooth Buttercream Finish
  • Adding Finishing Touches (like Ganache Drips, Sprinkles, Piping, etc)
  • Creating Edible Cake Toppers
  • Displaying & Cutting Party Cakes
  • Making Cakes Ahead of Time 

These are just a few of the lessons included in my Domestika course! There are so many more that help answer the questions I get asked most frequently – how to prevent air bubbles in your frosting finish, what to do if you can’t seem to get your cake smooth, how far in advance you can decorate your cake, etc. I am so proud of how it turned out and cannot wait for you to see!

    I cannot wait to see all you have to show as I struggle with icing and making the cake look more professional.
    I am in Cape Town South Africa so hope I am able to be part of your baking course.

ROCKY ROAD CUPCAKES ✨ inspired by the classic ice ROCKY ROAD CUPCAKES ✨ inspired by the classic ice cream flavor: moist and decadent chocolate cupcakes filled with homemade marshmallow creme, then topped with fudgy chocolate buttercream, mini marshmallows, and chopped almonds. The marshmallow creme filling comes together in minutes and is SO MUCH BETTER than the store bought stuff – perfectly creamy yet fluffy and the best surprise when you bite into these cupcakes.

Full recipe (w/ frosting) at the link in my bio or at https://sugarandsparrow.com/funfetti-sheet-cake/ 

INGREDIENTS 
2 1/2 Cups (265g) sifted cake flour 
2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
1 tsp salt 
3/4 Cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temp 
1 3/4 Cup (340g) granulated white sugar 
3 large eggs, room temp 
1/2 Cup (120g) sour cream, room temp 
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract 
1 Cup (240ml) whole milk, room temp 
1/3 Cup (60g) rainbow sprinkles, coated in 1 tsp flour 
 
INSTRUCTIONS 
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163ºC). Grease and line a 9×13 baking pan. 
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.  
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a large bowl and hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 4 min. Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream and mix for one minute on high speed. 
4. Turn the mixer off and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until just combined, then add the milk and mix until just incorporated.  
5. Coat the rainbow sprinkles in 1 teaspoon of flour, then gently fold them into the cake batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the baking dish until room temperature, then decorate with vanilla buttercream + rainbow sprinkles (full recipe link in bio!)
