Is there anything better than a delicious slice of homemade cake? We think not, but one of the most common questions I get asked is how to elevate the humble Victoria Sponge into something a little more showstopping.

Whether you want to make your cakes taller, neater, tastier or even dive headfirst into decorating, this is the class for you!

Covering everything from how to bake the perfect sponge, right through to covering your cakes with sugarpaste, I’ll take you through all of the fundamental steps you need to take to create showstopping, professional standard cakes – the ultimate one-stop-shop!

 

In this face-to-face baking class, you will learn:

– How to bake perfect cakes for decorating.

– How to torte your cakes into multiple layers.

– How to dam and fill your cakes with tasty fillings. 

– How to crumb coat your cakes to keep things tidy and clean. 

– How to cover your cakes in sugarpaste.

– How to achieve neat and precise sharp edges.

 

During the class you will receive a handy instruction pack, including the recipes you will need to recreate your cake again at home and, of course, you will get to take the cake you create during the class home as well! Whether you choose to share it with anyone is up to you…

The class will be held at my dedicated Cooking, Baking and Cake Decorating Academy in the picturesque town of Fareham, Hampshire, conveniently located between Southampton and Portsmouth. Limited parking is available on site however, this will be offered on a first come first served basis.

You will be able to ask questions throughout the class, so you may wish to bring a notepad and pen with you to take notes. 

Confirmation of your order will be emailed to you. Once you have paid for the class, keep an eye on your emails and don’t forget to check those pesky junk folders!
