    The teacher, Danny, was amazing. She went over the techniques slowly, and walked us through, if we were having a bit of trouble, she took the time to help us understand, and showed us how to do it. The class was overbooked, but it still was a small class (12), so she was able to give individual attention to each student. I never felt rushed, during the practice sessions, for each technique. Actually, during the practice, Danny walked around -- which is how she was able to give us a lot of attention. I highly recommend it, and will definitely take another class.

    My mom and I had a great time at this cake decorating class! Our instructor, Lisa, was very informative and helpful. We came home with beautiful cakes and new decorating skills and tools. The deduction of a star was due to the pacing of the class; the class felt rushed at times but we ended over an hour early.

    Great class, really liked the instructor. Wish they had a stricter policy for late comers, some people showed up over 20 min late and we then had to stop every time.

    Our instructor was lovely and knowledgable, though it seemed like she was thrown into the course and was a bit discombobulated because of it--we actually ran over in time and I had to leave before being able to finish decorating my cake. The Wilton frosting provided is loaded with awful ingredients (Vegetable shortening, HFCs, Propylene Glycol, etc) and tastes as such. We were only given one canister of frosting per person to practice with (divided into 2 colors), and then were expected to decorate our cakes with that same frosting we'd been piping and scraping off the practice sheets. I shudder to think of anyone attempting to eat any of it. All in all was a waste of money--I could have watched tutorials online and used quality ingredients. Sad, was really looking forward to this.

Usually, they are fine without a parent but if you think he needs you, then if it isn’t full the school will allow it.
