A beautiful cake to make, full of interesting whimsical flowers. this can be adapted for any occasion. Easier to make as not botanically correct but beautiful none-the-less. Such a brilliant day. Annabelle was so patient explaining everything to a level that was then easy to transfer to your cake. Nothing was too much trouble.

Fantastic course with lots of different things included. Very good tutor - repeated as necessary, showed fiddly bits 1 to 1, answered all questions. Annabelle is so knowledgeable and even when you think it has all gone wrong, she is so encouraging and helpful.

This course pushed me out of my comfort zone - but in a good, supportive way. I have never made flowers before and this was a great introduction. Course content what I expected and more. Annabelle was really helpful & encouraging as always and I am thrilled with my cake.

Fantastic course, learnt so many other techniques than I expected. The colours on these cakes were stunning. Loved the fact each cake was unique with different leaves, berries and colours. An amazing day where everyone has gone home with something different. Step by step guide by a great tutor which means even someone who is new to cake decorating can achieve an amazing cake. A great day with lots of new techniques.

Very good tutor, informative as usual. A really interesting course to do that breaks 'normal' rules. Thank you for another great course, lots of learning fun and laughter.

Had a lovely day at Cake School doing this course. I really was out of my comfort zone as this one threw all of the normal rules out of the window. Worked with a lovely group of ladies and everyone went home with a great cake. They were all amazing. Thank you once again to Annabelle Jane for your ideas and creativity and to Lisa H for providing the tea and keeping us topped up with equipment when needed. I would urge everyone to do this course if it comes up again. The course was more than I expected - I can't believe we fitted everything in and the end results were outstanding. Maybe not for an absolute beginner but I think anyone even with limited skills can do this.
— Jane, 16th November 2024
I can not believe what I have been able to make! Thank you greatly. Fantastic tutor. Course content what I expected and more. This course was great fun and good value. So pleased I came today.
