Still trying to figure it out alone?

You’ve probably tried to piece it all together — a YouTube video here, a recipe there, a few workshops with no real follow-up.

But deep down, you know the truth:

❌ Your cakes still don’t look the way you want.
❌ You hesitate every time you send a quote.
❌ You’re spending hours, with no real structure — and no business behind it.

You’re not the problem. Your method is.

At Sweet Design Academy, we don’t simply teach you how to make a cake. We show you how to become a cake artist — trained, structured, and ready to grow.
Level 1: The must have basics

You can keep guessing…
Or you can finally learn the foundations that make everything easier.

  • Stacking, leveling, ganache, fondant — all the must-have techniques

  • Professional finishing & clean structure

  • Hygiene, organization, storage, and real cake dimensions

  • BONUS: Understand how to set your prices from the beginning

🎓 This is where confidence starts.

WOW Flavors

For Cake Designers Who Refuse Boring Cakes

Let’s be honest.
You can make a pretty cake — but does it taste wow?

In this module, we take cake flavor seriously:

  • Layered textures

  • Balanced fillings

  • Perfectly adapted for design work

Because when you want to charge more, taste is non-negotiable.

Level 2: Wedding Cakes

Want to create wedding cakes that make clients gasp — and pay accordingly?

Here, we go all in:

  • Tall tiered structures

  • Luxury finishes

  • Signature sugar flowers

  • Handling consultations, planning, and delivery like a pro

✅ This is for you if you’re ready to stop saying “one day” and start creating showstoppers today.

Wafer Paper Art

Light, Elegant & No Fondant Needed!

Fondant isn’t for everyone. We get it.
That’s why this training helps you create stunning, modern cakes
with incredible textures, flowers, and details — all in wafer paper.

🌿 Perfect for artists who want to stand out — and still impress without sugar paste.

Sugar Flowers

If you want people to stop and stare at your cake…

Then flowers are your secret weapon.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to:

  • Work petal by petal

  • Build wired floral arrangements

  • Color, shape, and bring each bloom to life

These flowers don’t come from molds.
They come from your skill — and they make all the difference.

Level 3: Expert Techniques

Good is no longer enough.
Now it’s time to go all the way.

You’ve done the weddings. You’ve practiced the techniques.
But now you want to master the art of high-end cake design.

This training is for artists ready to:

  • Create showpieces

  • Follow international trends

  • Push their creative boundaries

  • Leave “safe” behind — and step into their signature

This is where you become unmissable.

Don't settle for being good when you can be exceptional!
