  • 5/5 from Anneke Cripps, attended Jan 2024: We had an amazing time! Janeen was lovely enough to accommodate a larger group for us and welcomed us into her home for a fun and educational experience on baking multiple types of sponge cake. We all had a wonderful time. Janeen is so funny and kind. We would love to book again in the future!
  • 5/5 from Sarah, attended Oct 2023: Janeen is a great teacher and is super knowledgeable. I found this class very informative and interactive and had a lot of fun! The cakes tasted delicious too. Would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to give sponge cakes a go. Super simple and reproducible! Fun class :)
  • 5/5 from Lorraine, attended Oct 2023: Another fun afternoon 'baking with Janeen'. She has everything ready to go and explains the process as we go along- always adding in baking tips and encouragement.
  • 5/5 from Suzanne, attended Oct 2023: This weekend was my THIRD baking class (as well as doing a 6-week baking course) with Janeen from The Accidental Caker - booked through ClassBento. I used to find the idea of baking was very hard and stressful because baking is like a science and I am terrible at all sciences! But since attending Janeen’s baking classes; it has helped with my confidence in baking and I love baking now. I even brought in 24 mini cupcakes to share with my work colleagues and it was a hit! I love to share my food. This weekend with Janeen, I learnt how to bake strawberry and cream sponge cake as well as a chocolate swiss roll. As always, Janeen’s classes are fun-filled, informative and the place is very clean. I learnt how to use a cake leveller for the first time and there were all easy-to-follow recipes. Thank you thank you Janeen for providing amazing and informative baking classes for super beginners like me.

My love of baking was formed at a very young age and some of my fondest memories as a child are when I was helping my Mother and Grandmother in the kitchen. Whilst I love all forms of cooking, baking is my favourite. I love to try new recipes and techniques and have developed some of my own recipes.
My decorating skills were not always as they are now but I always strived to improve. It was by accident, after a friend gifted me a decorating class almost 10 years ago, that I fell in love with cake decorating. Since then, I have sought out opportunities to improve my skills and have attended decorating classes with internationally renowned decorators.
A few of whom are:
  • By.Aletoso
  • Queen of Hearts Couture Cupcakes
  • Moreish Cakes
  • Don’t tell Charles
  • Bon Vivant Cakes
  • Astashkina Cakes and
  • Le Cordon Bleu
In my classes, most of which are aimed at beginner decorators, I aim to provide my participants with all the necessary information to take what they have learnt home to create beautifully decorated cakes and cupcakes.
So, if you’ve tried to decorate and just didn’t quite get the results you wanted, come along to a class, you’ll be pleased you did!
