Poor quality ingredients were used. Icing was like sugar water, or a real butter cream. While the instructor was nice, we had bad colours to decorate with and and the decoration styles felt generic. For the price point I was expecting way more from this class.
I thought the class was overall helpful, but felt the class size was too large for the instructor to provide one-on-one support. Additionally, the class should be marketed for folks who have baking experience as opposed to complete novices. The reason why I say this is because the instructor went through many steps at the same time before we got a chance to work on our own cake and it does take a bit of baking experience to develop the ability to retain and apply so much information. My suggestion would be to have a preliminary class on masking and a separate class (the level up) on piping so as to allow novices to have the time to be able to make progress on one area before moving on. Thanks!
Many thanks Megan for a challenging and fun cake decorating class. Challenging: felt like all thumbs spreading icing, fun: sharing delightful classmate creations.
Had an incredible time with my mum learning to decorate cakes!
What a wonderful morning learning about cake decorating! Megan was a great teacher and my granddaughter and I each left with beautiful cakes to share with our families!
