FAQ: Cake Decorating Classes

Is this class suitable for beginners?

It depends on which cake! Our Introduction to Cake Decorating (Perfect Disaster Cake), Buttercream Flower Cake, Taylor Swift Cake, and both JellyCat Amuseables classes are all beginner-friendly, no experience needed. Our Lambeth Buttercream Masterclass is designed for intermediate-level bakers who already have some piping experience.

How long is the class?

Most of our cake decorating classes at Le Dolci Culinary School Toronto are 2 hours. The Lambeth Buttercream Masterclass runs 3 hours to allow time for its more advanced piping techniques.

Do I need to bake anything myself?

No, in every one of our cake decorating classes, your cake is pre-baked and your buttercream is pre-made, so you can jump straight into the fun part: decorating.

What will I actually make?

• Introduction to Cake Decorating: a "Perfect Disaster Cake," an intentionally imperfect, playful design focused on building real technique without the pressure of perfection

• Lambeth Buttercream Masterclass: a round vanilla Lambeth-style cake using advanced piping techniques

• Buttercream Flower Cake: a vanilla cake decorated with your own hand-piped buttercream flowers and leaves

• Taylor Swift Cake: a Swiftie-themed cake with a piped friendship bracelet design and colourful buttercream details

• JellyCat Amuseables Birthday Cake / Heart Cake: a fondant-sculpted cake inspired by the JellyCat Amuseables collection, in round or heart shape

Will I get the recipes afterward?

Yes, recipes are emailed to you (timing varies slightly by class, some at time of booking, some before class), including vanilla cake, American buttercream, and a bonus Swiss meringue buttercream recipe.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

No, all ingredients, equipment, and transport boxes are provided across every cake decorating class. Just bring your creativity.

Is the studio accessible?

Classes may be held in our upstairs studio, which is accessible by stairs only. If you need accommodation, please email us in advance and we'll do our best to help. Our downstairs studio is wheelchair accessible but our table heights are higher than usual for cooking purposes. Please email us in advance to discuss if we can accommodate. 

Not sure if this class is right for me, what should I do?

If you're ever unsure whether it's the right fit for you, feel free to call us to chat it through before booking. Our Chef work to ensure that every guest is accommodate so not to worry, this class is for you!

Is this a good gift or celebration idea?

Absolutely, at Le Dolci Culinary School Toronto all classes are popular for birthdays, Taylor Swift fans, JellyCat collectors, or anyone who just wants a fun, hands-on afternoon and a beautifully decorated cake to show for it. Apron add-ons are also available on most classes if you'd like a keepsake to bring home.
