Recent reviews of Culinary Illusion Class: How to Make Confectionery Olives
- 5/5 from Courtney Basso, attended May 2026: Erica was a fantastic teacher, extremely knowledgeable and taught us so many tips & tricks! The class was nice and relaxing and it was so fun seeing the olives come to life. The class went by so fast and it was great value for money considering all the food we got to take home, and the charcuterie board we got to eat during class. Highly recommended this class for people wanting to try something unique.
- 5/5 from Amber Donnelly, attended Dec 2025: Erica ran an amazing hands on class, and I'm very much looking forward to future classes with Erica. Eventually I'd love to learn how to do a whole charcuterie board made from desserts that look like savoury food. Erica is extremely organised and prepared for the class she's hosting, including giving participants very detailed instructions. Erica is very generous in sharing her knowledge, experience and time. Thoroughly recommend this class! Thank you so much for running the small class Erica, and for the lovely snacks at the end, and bonus recipe. It's greatly appreciated!
- 5/5 from Joel Vergunst, attended Sep 2025: This class was a fun twist on your standard cooking class and has inspired me to think outside the box when preparing food for guests! The candy olives we made were so realistic that they fooled our family. Erica was a wonderful teacher who has clearly spent a lot of time experimenting with and perfecting her culinary illusions. She served a delicious afternoon tea in which we got to sample several of her other creations, and I can’t wait to see what other classes she runs in the future. Everything was clean and well-organised. Highly recommended!
Your teacher
Hi, I'm Erica – welcome to my Crafty Kitchen!I've been creating for as long as I can remember. I learnt to crochet at the age of eight and discovered my love of baking and cooking as a teenager. Now, nearly five decades later, I'm still just as passionate about experimenting, learning, and bringing new ideas to life. Entirely self-taught, I've spent years refining my skills through trial and error, endless note-taking, and a healthy dose of curiosity. Whether I'm creating realistic crochet play food, designing amigurumi, or crafting edible illusions, I love finding ways to transform ordinary materials into something unexpected.Teaching allows me to share that passion with others. I believe creativity should be fun, accessible, and never intimidating. My classes are relaxed, beginner-friendly, and focused on helping people build confidence while creating something they're proud of. There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing the delight and surprise on people's faces when they realise what they've created—or when they discover that things aren't always quite what they seem!
