Learning how to decorate a cake has never been this delicious -- or this much fun! In this hands-on cake decorating class in the heart of New York City, Chef Milagros walks you through everything you need to know to create a stunningly decorated mini cake using smooth buttercream and classic piping techniques. You'll fill and stack your cake layers, master a clean crumb coat, and finish with beautiful details like borders, ruffles, and shells. Think of it as one of the most rewarding and tasty things to do in New York -- and yes, you get to take your creation home.
The best part? You don't need any prior experience to walk away with a cake that looks like it came from a fancy bakery. Chef Milagros shares her professional tips for achieving polished finishes and balanced cake decorating ideas that work for birthdays, celebrations, or any special occasion you want to impress at. Every ingredient, tool, and piece of equipment is provided, so all you have to bring is your enthusiasm (and maybe an appetite).

Recent reviews of Buttercream Cake Decorating Workshop

  • 4/5 from Tashfia Haidar, attended Sep 2026: The class was very fun and the instructor was super sweet and took the time to explain everything to everyone, even if we came in late. She made sure to clean up as we went and gave us advice or helped us improve on making the buttercream frosting and decorating. We had a 10 minute break, and then continued finishing our cake, and took a picture with all of the cakes together. It was fun, but one thing that can be improved is to make sure the class is paced slower so people aren’t rushing to catch up to the next step.
  • 5/5 from Alissa Karah, attended Aug 2026: We had so much fun in Milagros’ class!! She was such a patient informative teacher and we had a blast with her :) Now I know how to make buttercream with my hands haha she’s the best! Can’t wait to take another class
