Sunflowers look complicated until someone shows you the trick.

It's really just layered petals — a ring of golden buttercream piped at the right angle, a darker center built up in texture, and suddenly it reads as a whole flower. We'll walk you through the pressure and the angle until yours looks just as good as the inspiration photo.

You don't need to already know how to pipe. You need someone to show you the right way, with the right tools — and that's exactly what happens in class. Sweet Sunflowers, Thu Sept 10 @ Gateway Diner — seats are limited, grab yours now. Link in comments.
