Bento Cake Decorating Workshop for Beginners

Just turn up; we've got everything covered!



2 hours Location Surfers Paradise Class size 1 to 12 guests   $125 (Afterpay available)

Tools, ingredients, apron and box are all provided, so you can relax and enjoy a sweet, laid-back morning decorating your very own bento cake. No experience needed; just bring your curiosity and a sweet tooth!
Led by Lari, the cake artist behind Madame Maricotta, this cake decorating class is relaxed, playful and full of little "I made this!" moments. Your mini cake arrives baked, filled and ready, so you can skip the oven and go straight to the fun part.
Step by step, you will learn:
  • How to colour buttercream and create soft, dreamy pastel shades
  • How to crumb coat and smooth your mini cake like a pro
  • Piping techniques for borders, swirls and cute details
  • How to write a message on top (a birthday wish, an inside joke, anything you like)
  • Finishing touches to make your cake picture-perfect
Come solo, bring a friend or make it a girls' morning out. You will leave with a gorgeous bento cake boxed up to take home, new skills and plenty of photos for your feed.

Hi, I’m Larissa, the cake artist and founder of Madame Maricotta, a boutique cake studio based in Main Beach on the beautiful Gold Coast.
My journey with cake decorating began in Brazil over six years ago, when I discovered how much I enjoyed creating beautiful cakes and being part of people's special celebrations. Over time, that passion grew into my own business, and today I feel incredibly grateful to do something I genuinely love.
Before becoming a cake artist, I worked as a tour guide in Brazil for over ten years. I've always loved meeting new people, sharing experiences and making others feel welcome. I think that’s one of the reasons I enjoy teaching so much.
One of my favourite parts of teaching is seeing how excited people get when they realise they can decorate their own cake. I love watching everyone get involved, try something new, laugh at their little mistakes and feel proud of what they've created.
My workshops are relaxed, fun and completely hands-on. You don't need any previous experience, and I'll guide you through every step. I want everyone to feel comfortable, enjoy the process and have a lovely time together.
As a Brazilian cake artist, I also enjoy sharing a little of my culture through my cakes, especially our traditional Brazilian fillings, which are always a favourite!
I put a lot of love and attention into everything I create, from wedding cakes to the smallest details in my workshops. I really enjoy sharing what I've learned over the years and helping others experience the joy of cake decorating.
Whether you're coming with friends, celebrating a birthday, organising a hens party or simply looking for something different to do, I'd love to welcome you to one of my workshops.
I can't wait to meet you and decorate some beautiful cakes together!
With love,
Larissa
