    This was my first time taking a baking class and it was awesome! I was worried I was going to be out of my league since I am such a novice. However, I needn’t have been concerned. Syd was patient and helpful. I was visiting from out of town so I had no supplies so Syd brought extra tools for me so I could participate. My cake looked great and I can’t wait to practice my new found cake decorating skills. This was a great class for all skill levels. Can’t wait me to visit LA and come again!

Discover the Best Cake Decorating Classes in Los Angeles

Turn an everyday creation into something truly worth marveling at - and eating - with a little help from a Los Angeles cake decorating course. Join a local course to learn the ins and outs of spatula icing, piping, and fondant. These challenging yet fun courses will help students master the basics or learn more advanced skills. Cake decorating is equal parts creative and technical, but all it requires to start is a steady hand, an artistic mind, and a willingness to learn.

Why You Should Learn Cake Decorating in Los Angeles

So, why learn cake decorating? A potentially fun and stress-relieving hobby, cake decorating focuses on artistic design and technical skills. It can be a way to calm down after a difficult day. Masters of this particular skill set can also create thoughtful gifts for others, one-of-a-kind creations that will mean so much more than a store-bought item. The craft of cake decorating can even create connections to a larger community of bakers and decorators, building friendships founded on similar interests. And, with groups like the SoCal Bakers Meetup on Facebook, there are plenty of avenues for forming a tight-knit circle of friends. 

Looking for a new career path? Professional cake decorating could be a fulfilling one. Experts can work within a bakery department at a grocery store or a boutique cake shop, or even launch their own small business or side hustle for a second stream of income. It’s also a great additional skill set for established professional bakers, eliminating the need to hire extra help for the fine detail work. Professionals get to be a part of every client’s most special occasions, creating unique and delicious centerpieces for their celebrations.

In-Person Cake Decorating Classes in Los Angeles

There are a few cake pop classes available in sunny Los Angeles this spring and summer. Los Angeles City College is hosting Parent & Me Decorating: Cupcake, Cake Pops & Mini Cakes where kids and their guardians will learn to make flavorful frosting and all the tips and tricks for decorating cake pops, cupcakes, and cakes. Cakery by Syd is also offering Summer Celebration Cake Pops which will teach sweet-tooth students everything they need to know to master cake pops. 

Located conveniently in East Hollywood, Los Angeles City College offers classes, events, and other offerings for all members of their diverse local community. Their intention is to help their neighbors learn new skills or try out new hobbies or career paths, all within an educational setting. 

Virtual Cake Decorating Classes 

Online cake decorating classes are a more flexible option for those who wish to travel or commute less and can be especially appealing to those who live in the LA area and are wanting to avoid the traffic. Typically there are more options available virtually and you can attend from anywhere. While students will need to acquire their materials and equipment for these classes, they get the advantage of learning all the tips and tricks from the comfort of their own homes (or any chosen space)!

There currently aren’t online cake decorating classes widely available, but there are several baking courses that will teach similar skill sets. "Great British Bake Off" Classics teaches students how to recreate their favorite recipes from the binge-worthy show. Participants can try their hand at making a Victoria sandwich cake with raspberry jam and whipped cream, and learn to make savory scones with British condiments and sharp English cheddar, all while enjoying a cup of English breakfast tea. Each student will receive a take-home recipe for lemon poppy-seed drizzle cake, too!

The Sweet & Savory Cream Puff course, offered by The Good Food Project, is another great option. Hosted on Zoom, participants will learn the art of pâte à choux (puff pastries), creating both a savory option and a classic version with chocolate ganache and whipped cream that are sure to wow any guest.

Sure to brighten any day, macaron making is a unique and creative skill set. In this French Macaron Step-by-Step class, students will make, flavor, pipe, and bake their very own macarons! This class will share knowledge on the best ingredients, how to add a burst of flavor to these colorful treats, and how to ensure each macaron always turns out perfectly.
