Workshops

Learn with us

We run small, hands-on workshops for anyone who wants to make something beautiful. A quiet few hours learning to paint, pipe and finish a cake the way we do, with everything laid out and one of us beside you the whole way. You take your cake home at the end.

Small groups, real techniques

Classes stay small on purpose, so everyone gets time and a proper turn with the brush and the palette knife. We cover a smooth finish, a hand-painted scene, and a few buttercream flowers, then box your cake so it travels home safely.

Booking for a group, a private session or a team? Tell us what you have in mind and we will plan it with you.

In the class

The skills we cover

  • Levelling, filling and crumb-coating a cake so it sits clean and true
  • A smooth buttercream finish, and the colours we mix to get there
  • Hand-painting a simple scene in buttercream, brush and all
  • Piping a few buttercream flowers and a soft border
  • Boxing it up to travel, so it gets home in one piece
Who it is for. Anyone curious, from a complete beginner to someone who bakes at home and wants the finishing touches. Everything is provided, and you leave with your own cake and the know-how to make the next one.
