Paula Ellis reviewed: Beginner's PLUS cupcake decorating

"Yet another fabulous cupcake decorating course attended by my daughter and I, this course was building on the previous beginners course. Jane guides you clearly and patiently though all the stages so you are guaranteed to come away with perfectly decorated cakes. Great fun session in lovely surroundings and a small interactive group. Highly recommend everyone to go on a session you wont be disappointed. "

Tara House Bakery responded:

"What a lovely review, Paula. Thank you. So pleased that you and Chloe found the course so worthwhile and felt it developing the skills you acquired on the Beginner's course. Your finally results were excellent. Thanks again for your comments."
