Mini Cakes Class

As we will be focussing on the decorating of these fashionable cakes, you will be supplied with fresh cakes to decorate. We will provide you with the recipe used and of course we can discuss helpful tips and tricks to ensure that you gain the necessary confidence to always bake your mini cakes from scratch - with excellent results EVERY time!

You will learn how to make round and square mini cakes that are covered in perfectly smooth sugarpaste with perfect edges and corners.

We will cover the advantages of mini cakes including the advance preparation and storage of these popular cakes.

They can be made in advance, giving you time to decorate them and saving those rushed hours of work needed when baking fresh cupcakes.

We will teach you how to prepare, cut, cover and decorate your cakes so that they look professional.
