Testimonials

"Just a quickie to say thank you for a really great day!
A relaxed easy going atmosphere, perfectly pitched to everyone’s abilities. George has finished the last cupcake after school today, he saved the green ones for himself.
Who knows, once I get a bit of practice under my belt, I might have to book the next decorating class!
So, a big thank you, now I can do the swirly icing...hooray."

"I just wanted to say thank you very much for an enjoyable course yesterday. I learnt lots of new tricks and tips and have now been online ordering new plungers, cutters and even a new mixer!! Oops!!
My daughter loved the Hello Kitty cakes – despite them looking a bit worse for wear!"

"I just wanted to say Thank You for an enjoyable day. I learnt a lot today in the relaxed environment you have created and am so impressed with what I have created! I can't quite bring myself to let anyone eat them just yet as I keep having a peek in the box. It was lovely to be able to see and use a variety of cutters, colours and equipment to see what I felt comfortable with using before I make an investment! Should anyone wish to attend a cupcake decorating course, I would definately recommend you as friendly and professional."
