During the 60-minute party—once attended by Mila Kunis—cake artist Kody Christiansen supplies participants with all of the necessary tools and tips needed to mix their own frosting, decorate their cupcakes, experiment with an airbrush machine, embellish with edible gold, and try their hand at creating three-dimensional buttercream flowers. Participants leave with four custom-decorated treats.

Cake and Art

For 36 years, Cake and Art's kitchen has yielded batch after batch of imaginative desserts, including birthday cakes for celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, Jay Leno, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber. Behind the scenes at the acclaimed shop—whose work has graced the cover of Life magazine—the skilled staff churns out a surfeit of cupcakes, cookies and brownies, and chocolate bars with creatively customized labels. Their specialty cakes boast foundations of vanilla, chocolate, carrot, red velvet, or lemon, and they often personalize the ubiquitous party treats with customer's photographs and themed designs. The shop's cupcake artist, Kody Christiansen, hosts cupcake-decorating classes and private parties that teach attendees a tier of skills, such as how to create a buttercream flower and how to profit from buttercream botanic gardens.
