What you'll do

Overview

This cake decorating class in New York is a beginner's foundation course in buttercream, with frequent dates throughout the season. It takes place in the teaching kitchen of a family-run cake and baking supply business, founded in 1991, whose Manhattan flagship on West 22nd Street also houses a café and shop.

What you'll make

You work on a two-layer, 5-inch cake of your own: filling it, adding a crumb coat, frosting it and finishing with a textured piped design.

How the session runs

The instructor teaches American buttercream handling and essential piping (shells, stars, zig-zags, ruffles and rosettes) and how to use the tools with confidence, over two and a half hours. All ingredients and supplies are included. Wear casual clothes you don't mind getting sugar on and flat closed-toe shoes, and tie back long hair.

Who it's for

Beginners aged 14 and up who want solid decorating foundations. Every class is hands-on and interactive, so expect to be busy at the counter; please tell the team about any allergies or dietary needs before the class starts.
