We are delighted to offer cake decorating classes for all you budding cake enthusiasts.

Take a look at our gallery to see the kind of thing you will learn to create.

Course Information
Classes are a day long intensive course starting at 10:15am and wrapping up by 3:30-4pm. Classes are held in Chelmsford in Essex, around a 30 minute train ride from London Liverpool Street station. Groups are always small (no more than 4 people) so you can be sure of the very best attention!

Prices
Courses are £95 for the weekdays and £125 for weekends. This include all materials, ingredients and a dozen of your beautifully decorated cupcakes to take home. Lunch and refreshments are provided throughout the day. Also available to purchase after the class are our high quality coloured cupcake cases. Or why not invest in one of our fantastic Cupcake Kits and start baking again as soon as you get home?
