What a lovely morning! Such a cute cake! It will make me smile every time I look at it. Lots of new skills learnt whilst drinking tea and eating yummy cake - bliss! Annabelle was lovely as always. So friendly and welcoming and explains everything so well. Better than therapy!

A little cake, perfect for presents. Learning new skills to prepare and gift cake is always a joy! Thank you Annabelle was amazing as always. Now my daughter is a little older, I can bring her to cake school too. Annabelle changed her teaching style to provide amazingly clear instructions for all ages.
