Recent reviews of Basic Cake Decorating Class
- 5/5 from Nancy Padian, attended Oct 2026: The class was great. It was an excellent mix of group demonstrations with plenty of individual instruction. The instructors were super! My only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. I hope to take it again!
- 4/5 from Patricia Brown, attended Sep 2026: Our teachers were very informative and helpful. My daughter s and I had a wonderful time. It would have been nice to have a written copy of the buttercream icing recipe
- 5/5 from April Malloy, attended Jul 2026: This class was great! We had 12-14 people with two chefs. The were informative, helpful, professional, and really kind. The space is huge and really makes me want to go back. The cakes were delicious and the decorations we all made were beautiful.
- 5/5 from Jennifer Worrell, attended May 2026: I really enjoyed our class! I’d dabbled in decorating before, but with the techniques we learned and a little (maybe a lot) more practice, here’s hoping my future cakes will turn out as beautiful as I intend them to be. Also, I’m glad to have the recipe for the delicious Italian meringue buttercream. I’ve made the Swiss version, and it’ll be nice to add the Italian one to my repertoire. Last but not least, the instructors were upbeat (and chose a great playlist, by the way) and made us newbies feel totally at ease. Everyone seemed to be having a ton of fun. I certainly did.
- 5/5 from Tracie Davis, attended May 2026: Great class!!
- 5/5 from Yolawnda Hansen, attended Mar 2026: Mike was a great teacher! The class was a lot of fun and I learned plenty of techniques to try on my next cake. Bonus for taking my yummy creation home to share with my family.
- 5/5 from Vandy Howell, attended Mar 2026: Went through all the steps to create a pretty cake.
