Maximum no. on class: 8 students (minimum to run the class: 4)

A class for secondary-school aged children (aged 12-16 years) with some cake decorating experience (please do not book for younger students).

This brand new class is a two-day session aimed at developing the cake deisgn and decorating skills of our teen students.

We'll be making an 'is it cake' chicken bucket themed cake - taking them through the whole process from designing to decorating and letting them have a little (guided) free-reign over different aspects of the design so that they can develop their own style and create their own totally unique cakes.

Day 1: Preparing the board and decor

• make decorative edible items for their cakes 
• using moulds, cutters and different sugarcraft products
• covering a cake board in a checkerboard effect
• learning how to make and work with cake-pop mixture
• preparing the decorative elements of their cake

Day 2: Decorating and assembling their cake

• how to torte, fill and stack their cakes
• using ganache for covering their cake
• how to cover a cake and work with edible images
• using edible dusts and paint for realistic effects
• completing their cake

All the equipment, tools and edible materials will be provided for students to use during the class. 

ALLERGIES: We are happy to provide gluten free / dairy free cake / buttercream for this class - please let us know at the time of booking.

A bit more about my Children's Classes:

I have been teaching children and adults for over 12 years and am fully insured and DBS checked for working with children and hold a paedeatric first aid certificate.

The aim of these classes is to give children the freedom and excitement of working on their own projects to develop their skills and spend more detailed time on this wonderful hobby!

We do not ask parents / carers to stay for the class, however, we will ask that you are contactable for the duration of the class and that you only leave your child if you feel they will be comfortable and responsible being left.

You are welcome to stay in attendance if you wish - we have limited seating around the sides of the classroom where you can relax whilst the class takes place. If your child is disruptive to the class we will ask you to attend and co-operate with them to ensure the class can run smoothly for all students.

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION:

This class has been created especially for older children (11+) and have experience of baking and decorating either at home or through attending my classes previously.  Please consider your child's capabilities before booking and contact me if you wish to check - whilst I will of course be teaching and supervising the whole class, I will not be able to work 1:1 with students so it is important they are able to work unaided.  We also run really impressive school holiday children's classes which are suitable for younger students or those with less experience.

Cancellation Policy:

Class bookings are non-refundable. Please read our T&C's before booking.

Please ensure you are able to attend on the date and time of the class you book.

Due to the limited numbers on this class, no sibling discounts are available.
