Cake Decorating Courses
We launched our cake decorating workshops in 2009 to provide individuals
that wants to try a hand at cake decorating or for the professional that wants to freshen
up on their skills. Let us show you how the professionals do things -
With our hands on workshops we keep our classes small so we can provide individual attention to our students,
enabling them to obtain the best learning experience in the wonderful world of cake decorating.
No question goes unanswered. We provide all materials and equipment
as well as a delightful lunch with good company. Plenty of parking available.
