What to Expect.

Workshops are a great way to spend an afternoon, learning a new skill and having some fun (and making a mess that you don’t have to clear up!) decorating 6 cupcakes with 3 floral designs which you get to take home. No experience necessary and all equipment and cakes provided, aprons included! The only thing you need to bring with you is your enthusiasm!

At the moment, I am only offering beginners level workshops,  although planning to offer an intermediate class in the future should there be a demand.

One-to-One Private Tuition.

Book a one-to-one session with me in a relaxed environment at my home in Hout Bay and it is your time to ask me anything. There is no fixed agenda for each 3 hour slot, though I will tailor it to what you already know. I am yours to show you everything I have learned with tips, tricks and shortcuts, teaching you the techniques, watch you do it and from there it is practice…practice…practice!

I will share my recipe for the perfect cupcake and buttercream, baking tips, storage, introduction to the most commonly used piping tips, provide a list of my suppliers and essential equipment list, show you how to create some of your favourite flowers, colour mixing , buttercream prep and storage.

Cost: R2200* (a box of 6 of your own decorated cupcakes to take home). Nothing to bring with you except enthusiasm!
