    Great class! Highly recommend as a jumping off point if you’re interested in getting more into baking, or just want a fun afternoon!
  • Cake Decorating 101

    Lovely class, great teacher. I like how she showed us different techniques and allowed you to practice and showcase your decorated cake. They need to redo the space because it’s too tight. I like the 20% off coupon after class

  • Cake Decorating 101

    Absolutely a fantastic experience. The instructor was kind and attentive, which is not easy since we were a full class! Was very adept at answering questions from the entire group, although I think I asked the most! LOL! I think I will wind up taking this class a second time to practice the techniques that I learned. I've already signed up for the cake certificate course!
