  • 5/5 from Jen Park, attended Sep 2025: She’s so fun and a great teacher!
  • 5/5 from Phrank Losee-Unger, attended Aug 2025: Youngsuk is a wonderful teacher. I came to this class hoping to hone my piping skills - as an amateur baker my decorating needs a lot of work. The three hours flew by, and with Youngsuk's instruction, everything was made clear and easy to follow. I so appreciated her patience while I worked out techniques. And, of course, her apartment is lovely and the sweets she made for us were delicious and incredibly aesthetically pleasing! I came home with a little vintage heart cake I was very proud of having decorated and a week later put my skills to work in making my sister's wedding cake (both pictured below). I so recommend this class, especially for budding bakers looking to sharpen their decorating skills.
  • 5/5 from Omar Rivera, attended Aug 2025: The class was super fun! I've got the monumental task of baking my friend's wedding cake next year and she wants a vintage design. Having little experience with intricate piping/decorating, I took this class to assess my skills and I feel confident that I'll be able to nail the wedding cake with lots of practice. Definitely recommend, even if you're just looking for a fun experience.
  • 5/5 from Grace Ang, attended Aug 2025: Youngsuk was incredible as our teacher! I loved how structured and methodical the class was- from the 1st half of class we learned and practiced piping, then the 2nd half was actually creating the cake using our new skills. It was an intimate environment and awesome for meeting other people interested in baking :)
  • 5/5 from Carolyn Mortell, attended Jul 2025: This class was so much fun and the 3 hours flew by! Youngsuk was a very clear and hands on instructor, first giving demos and then practical advice as we practiced our piping techniques. I have 0 natural talent for cake decorating/piping and was surprised at how nice my cake looked at the end. This would be a good one to take multiple times, and would be so fun for a bachelorette party or girls’ day!
  • 5/5 from Taylor Spivey, attended Jul 2025: I learned a lot from this class. Teacher was patient and nice and good at teaching.
  • 5/5 from Kat Crossley, attended Jun 2025: I loved this class! Youngsuk was a fantastic teacher who was knowlegeable, encouraging and explained things really well. I'd wanted to try this for ages and was so happy with the cake that I took home :)
  • 5/5 from Sasha, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely loved the Vintage Cake Decorating Class! I brought a cake as a gift and it was a big hit! Everyone was truly impressed by the skill and sophistication of the decorations. The instructor was very thoughtful and skilled, and the atmosphere was so much fun. I’ll definitely be practicing what I learned and can’t wait to come back for the cupcake class!
  • 5/5 from Anila Varghese, attended Jun 2025: I had such a wonderful time at the class! I had such a wonderful time at the class! I had such a wonderful time at the class! She quite literally held my hand (yes, actually!) as I piped my way to perfection—at least while her hand was still guiding mine. Her tips and tricks made everything feel achievable, and the way she broke things down gave me so much confidence, even as a beginner. Not only is she incredibly talented and patient, but also so kind—she even offered me an ice pack for my 2-hour journey back home to make sure my cake survived the trip like a true VIP! Highly recommend this class if you want to learn piping in the most encouraging and fun environment.

  • 5/5 from Celine Williams, attended Apr 2025: Youngsuk was an incredible teacher! She had a great blend of demonstrations and then hands on learning, and our entire group learned how to make the prettiest cakes in a short period of time! She really put effort into making the entire class inviting, and also put out tea and snacks for all of us. When we finished, we had a little photo shoot with our cakes to capture the memory of such a great class. 10/10 stars, would book again. Also, I highly recommend dressing up a little for class, that way you can get cute posed cake photos!
  • 5/5 from Mary Elizabeth Glennan, attended Apr 2025: I had the absolute best time at this cake decorating class! The teacher was so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly organized—it made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The setting was just perfect, such a lovely space to spend the day learning something new. She taught in such an easy, approachable way and made everything fun, no matter your skill level. I walked away with so many new techniques and so much inspiration. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a joyful, creative experience.
  • 5/5 from Rhine Sadang, attended Feb 2025: I enjoyed learning to decorate a vintage cake! I’ve never done it before and wanted to try something new. Youngsuk was welcoming and provided good instruction. She took her time. She gave personal attention and guidance to each student. It was relaxing as well. I thought the heart shaped cake was cute especially for February near Valentine’s Day. I am so happy with how my cake turned out. My boyfriend was impressed! I would love to take another one of her classes in the future. Thank you Youngsuk!
  • 5/5 from Angela Lui, attended Sep 2024: My ERG at work did this together as an offsite and it was so perfect! Youngsuk is such a gracious host and teacher. Her space is very cute and the tea party was such a cute addition! I was very impressed with everyone's skills as none of us have decorated cakes like that before, but Youngsuk helped us achieve instagrammable goals. I would definitely take one of her classes again (she has SO MANY good ones to choose from!)
  • 5/5 from Mimi Liu, attended Sep 2024: The teacher was very nice and I thought the tea party was a cute touch. The supplies were also in good shape. I had a really fun time overall and was happy with how my cake turned out
  • 5/5 from Kana Kobayashi, attended Jun 2024: This class was great and as described! We quickly learned how to decorate cakes in the vintage style and got to take our fully decorated cakes home. I would recommend this to anyone that's interested in cake decorating or as a fun activity for you and a friend!
