Great fun even if you're not very creative. Maybe more time to be able to do it would be good, slightly rushed. Amazingly friendly tutor, encouraging and very supportive & patient. Would definitely come back.

My friend and I had a wonderful time on Saturday at the Christmas Dome cupcakes course. It was quite a tricky course and at times felt we were going quite fast but so much was fitted in to the morning that this was necessary. I learnt lots of new techniques and can’t wait to use these at home. Annabelle, as always, was wonderful, delivering instructions clearly and making our time fun. A definite 5* for the course - would love to do it all over again!!

— , 1st December 2018

5* for this lovely course. I learnt some new piping techniques and best of all how to assemble the cupcake bouquet, which I gave to my aunt. She was thrilled. As always Annabelle was a fantastic and patient tutor. I would thoroughly recommend this course. The finished bouquet is an great present to give.

— , 1st December 2018

An excellently organised and run course, very informative. Annabelle is always so patient and no question is ever a problem to ask. You're always made to feel welcome and the knowledge and assistance is fantastic. It is very easy to ask questions and get help when needed. I love the 'extras' you learn on these courses. Its never just about the item you are making, but overall advice and tips on other aspects too. As always an excellent experience. Thanks for another great day!
