Core Skills Series
This collection of short, focused classes is designed to help you learn or refine one specific cake decorating skill at a time.
Each session concentrates on a single technique, making them ideal for complete beginners as well as confident bakers and decorators who’d like a little extra support in a particular area.
All Core Skills classes run within the same week, and you’re very welcome to book just one or combine several.
Many students choose to attend more than one session to build their skills gradually and gain confidence across a range of techniques.
If you like the look of both classes on one day, do spend the day with them, breaking for lunch in between.
Full details of each class are listed below, including what you’ll learn and when each session takes place.
Simply select the classes you’d like to attend and book them individually at checkout.
Please note:
These classes focus on decorating techniques only and do not include baking.
