"I purchased this course as a gift for my daughter in law. I am so pleased I went as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the cake decorating lesson and worth the money. Jane (and Paul, the refreshments man 😂) were both really friendly and made you feel welcome. Jane is an excellent teacher and I learnt lots of new skills. We enjoyed the class so much, and the cakes, that we have booked to go on another one in December. Highly recommend. "

"Fantastic cupcake decorating session today with Jane. I have tried many times in the past to produce cupcakes that look good to no avail.

Can’t wait to try the next course."
