Cake decorating
Pipe buttercream, smooth icing and add flowers to a cake or a box of cupcakes.
What you do
The baking is done before you arrive, so the whole session is about the fun part. A cake decorator shows you how to fill and crumb-coat a cake, get smooth sides with a scraper and pipe borders, rosettes and buttercream flowers with different nozzles. Some classes focus on cupcakes, others on a layer cake or seasonal designs. You practise on boards first, then decorate your own, and the host is on hand to rescue a lopsided swirl.
What you take home
Your decorated cake or a box of cupcakes, and piping skills for every birthday to come.
Who it suits
Teams with a sweet tooth, celebrations and anyone who likes a creative challenge with a delicious result. Easy to bring to an office.
