  • 5/5 from Mary Favela, attended Oct 2026: Elaine was great! I booked this class as a fun event for my bachelorette party and I’m glad I did! Everyone had a fun time and I got to learn some new tips as a home baker. The cake itself is delicious as is the cream cheese frosting and I can’t wait to eat the rest of it. Would book again for sure!
  • 5/5 from Shannel Houston, attended Oct 2026: I loved my class so much. Elaine was so patient and helpful in explaining all the techniques we used to decorate the cake. I was really proud of the result, I had never decorated anything like that before!
