Class in the Shavkin Style of Decorating
Puffed Embroidery and Decorating with Tools

for Teachers and Students


This class is jammed-packed with lots of rules and information on the Shavkin style of decorating and on Diane Shavkin's innovated "Puffed Embroidery" techniques that she developed in 1984. Please check out her website: www.shavkin.com for pictures and/or email Diane for pictures and more detailed information of this class.

The class is ideal for future teaching as each student will receive a certification to teach this style and a diploma. The methods are good for decorating cakes, cupcake decorating and cookie decorating. Fondant cutouts using these methods may be used for cake decorations. Tooth picks may be put inside of the fondant cutouts in order for the decorative pieces to be stuck into cakes and cupcakes so they stand in an upright position. Ideal for enhancing your cookie bouquets. Just contact Diane for cookie bouquet pictures.
