Recent reviews of Christmas Cupcake Decorating Class

  • 5/5 from Andrea Balam, attended Dec 2025: This was super fun class! Even with 0 experience, we were able to make very cute decorations
  • 5/5 from Chung-Hay Luk, attended Nov 2025: I took Youngsuk's Christmas Cupcake Decorating Class (adult / harder version) and had such an amazing time! I learned many techniques and would definitely consider taking more classes by Youngsuk. My partner was blown away that the cupcakes were handcrafted. He said that they looked professionally done, and since this was my first time piping cupcakes, I credit a phenomenal teacher. The buttercream and vanilla and chocolate cupcakes were also not too sweet as someone who favors Asian desserts and chantilly cakes.
  • 5/5 from Judy Byun, attended Nov 2025: The venue was at the instructors home and it was warm and welcoming. She had everything well organized and it’s really important given how many different tools are needed for decorating the cupcakes. I can’t say I’ve learned all the techniques she taught us well enough that I could replicate at home. But I feel like I learned enough to make some impressive cupcakes for this holiday season!
  • 5/5 from Itishree Swain, attended Dec 2024: The class was super fun! The teacher was super patient and made us practice a bunch on the buttercream structures we made. Since this was a holiday class, it felt joyous and I came back learning a lot of new techniques.
  • 5/5 from Sima Redl, attended Dec 2024: Enjoyed learning how to use the different piping nozzles to decorate themed cupcakes (our theme was Winter wonderland). Small class size was a huge plus -- there was only 4 of us so room to spread out and asks lots of questions. Highly recommend for any skill level; you'll leave feeling like a pro!!
  • 5/5 from Sandy Phantran, attended Nov 2024: One of the best classes I've taken! I went into it with no experience and left feeling confident in decorating Christmas cupcakes that looked REALLY good. I was so impressed with how they turned out and had a lot of fun during the class. Youngsuk was an incredibly patient, kind, and supportive teacher. Highly recommend taking her class.
  • 5/5 from Nate Nunta, attended Nov 2024: Excellent class! Highly recommended. Came with my girlfriend — we learned a lot about how to pipe and how to make very cool designs on the cupcakes. Youngsuk is very nice and patient with us. She also served yummy desserts before we got started :) I’m particularly proud of the Christmas tree.
