Decorating Classes

These are hands-on, everything provided classes, where each student works on their own cake. At the conclusion of the class students get to take home their very own beautifully decorated cake, cookies, or cupcakes to share with family and friends.

 

Classes are run on request, as well as pre-scheduled dates & times. Most classes are run Monday-Friday during the school term and some school holidays. Get in touch to find out about upcoming classes.

 

All levels are welcomed from beginners to more experienced decorators. If there is anything in particular you have always wanted to learn, let us know and we would be happy to run a once-off class.
