What People Are Saying:

I took the buttercream painting course and I felt that it’s definitely helpful for all levels from beginner to advanced. Lessons on the basics, like color theory, color mixing, tools and even their signature SMBC recipe were included to get you started. If anything, I was rather inspired by Heather’s thought process, creativity, and her own way of teaching. It felt authentic and natural, like a friend teaching you in her own studio!

Emily, The Butterfly Bakery

My name is Elizabeth Rzoska, and I own a small bakery in Portland, Maine called Prairie Baking Co. We specialize in buttercream cakes decorated with fresh flowers. With Heather’s technique, the color is added more purposefully than other “watercolor buttercream” techniques. The results are more painterly and not muddled. I often use this technique to emulate waves or layers of mountains and mist. The results can be quite ethereal or very bold depending on the color palette that you choose. This is a great, not incredibly time consuming, way to elevate your cakes. I’m so happy to have it in my arsenal of skills for cake decorating.

Elizabeth, Prairie Baking Co.

I’ve been immersed in the world of cake design for over 8 years and I’m always looking for new techniques to incorporate. The Painting with Buttercream class from Sweet Heather Anne was the perfect way to add this skill to my repertoire. The instructions and video were so easy to follow and I truly felt like I was in the studio with Heather. After taking the class, I couldn’t wait to work on a floral buttercream cake. I’m super proud of what I created and I’m so grateful that Heather shared her knowledge with us.

Randi, Sugar Euphoria

Heather was able to take something that looks so complex and break it down step by step. The next thing you know, you have a masterpiece on your hands! This course proved to be an invaluable asset in my small baking business.
