Class Experience

In this beginner cake decorating crash course, learners will learn step by step how to making a beautifully decorated layered cake, using their own creativity to decorate it! 

There is 5.25 hours of video content in this course. On the first day, I’ll upload two lesson videos and then one each week after that. 

Hopefully, students will be sharing photos and videos of their work as they complete it.   I'm always happy to answer any and every question learners have.   
 
*Please note, that this class will not include any fondant instruction.
