Heart cake with very pretty flowers, 3 week course
Upcoming Start Dates
Over 3 lessons you will make unwired roses, leaves and gerberas. Use dust colours to enhance them. You will ice a cake drum, add a personalised message, a ribbon and bow. Learn how to split, fill and ice a shaped cake. This course includes cake styling and is packed with ideas to help take your cakes to the next level. The course is timed for Mother's Day and your cake will stay fresh until then (and a few days beyond) - you are most welcome to change the colours and message to personalise it as you wish.

The course enabled me to learn new techniques to bring to life flowers and how to ice a shaped cake. Annabelle was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Gave good practical advice.
