Cake Decorating and Modelling Classes
Our classes are available for those at both beginner and intermediate levels in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment. Classes can be held on a 1-1 basis or in small groups to suit you and your requirements. Classes are fluid and are aimed at your capability. We teach what you want to learn, we have an aim for the day but it can change if it's too easy for you or too hard! We teach you what you want to learn in your time with us as we're not set to a learning schedule as its all private classes
As a student you have the option to book yourself or your group into any one of our classes. They range from sugar models and flowers to basic cake decorating - this includes splitting, levelling, filling and crumb coating using ganache.
The cakes are ready baked for you as we do not hold baking classes.
At the end of each class, your creation is yours to take home to devour if you can bear to cut it. You will also take away the knowledge and have the confidence to recreate them over and over again, in your own unique style.
All classes are inclusive of equipment - no need to bring anything with you but we do recommend a notebook and pen as there's so much information on the day. However for the more foodie students you're welcome to bring lunch or snacks along with you especially if its an all day class. Hot/cold drinks are provided
Our classes are suitable for those aged 12+ (those under 18 need a parent/guardian to be present throughout).
