This was great, simple introduction to flower making, with a really cute cake at the end. Annabelle is so helpful and patient. Spot on.

Very pleased I came and I will definitely be back. Annabelle was excellent as always - encouraging, helpful and knowledgeable. Course content much more than expected - especially the wired flower which was a new skill to me. I struggled a bit at times but still ended up with a super cute cake to take home and lots of new skills to practice at home.
