Cake Decorating Beginners 101

Welcome to my fabulous new class! I’m Amanda, the face behind flakescakesandmuffins, where decorating and dressing up baking is my passion.

In this hands-on course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of cake decorating — from making smooth buttercream and rich chocolate ganache to covering cakes with fondant and mastering decorative techniques. Whether you're a total beginner or want to refine your skills, this course will help you bring out your inner kitchen artist.

Please note:

  • This course requires the purchase of specific materials, which are not included in the course fee.

  • An estimate of the cost is difficult to provide, as it depends on the type of projects each student chooses to work on.

  • A full materials list will be provided at your first session.

  • You will also need to pre-prepare some materials before class.

Come along and turn your bakes into edible masterpieces!
