The Scabiosa

"Meet The Scabiosa – a 30-minute class that lets you grow this gorgeous, realistic bloom at your pace, no matter where you are in your piping journey. 🌸 In this class, we’ll pipe the scabiosa three different ways: 1. Beginner Petal-by-Petal Pipe: I’ll walk you through every petal, angle, and move so there’s zero guesswork. 2. Intermediate Petal-by-Petal Pipe: Same scabiosa, quicker pace, less chatter—perfect if you know the basics but still like a little structure. 3. Advanced Freestyle Pipe: Minimal guidance, maximum creative freedom. You choose petal count, placement, and personality while I cheer you on.
