Recent reviews of Buttercream Cake Decorating Class: Don't GO Baking My Heart

  • 5/5 from Heidi Samoilenko, attended Sep 2026: Helpful tips, easy to keep up, great result. Emily was a fantastic teacher.
  • 4/5 from Candice Lam, attended Jul 2026: This was a full class with eight participants, and we each decorated a beautiful vintage-style heart cake. The workshop was well structured, taking us through each stage of the process—from layering and filling the cake, to crumb coating, applying the final coat in our chosen colours, and then decorating with vintage buttercream piping techniques. The demonstrations were clear, although they moved quite quickly. We spent most of our time working directly on our own cakes, and I felt there wasn't quite enough opportunity to practise some of the piping techniques beforehand. As a beginner, I would have appreciated a little more guided practice before decorating the final cake. I also found this class more challenging than I expected. Achieving a smooth buttercream finish on a heart-shaped cake is quite difficult, and many of us were finding it tricky. Because of that, I think this workshop is better suited to those who already have some basic cake decorating experience. The teacher is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. Her teaching style is quite direct and matter-of-fact, which some people may appreciate, but personally I would have enjoyed a little more encouragement throughout the class. At times the feedback felt more focused on how long these techniques take to master, rather than building confidence as we learned. When sharing her own career journey, she also spoke quite candidly about her past experiences as a chef, which gave the class a slightly different tone than I was expecting. Overall, I still enjoyed learning some new buttercream techniques and was happy to take home a cake I was proud of. If you already have some decorating experience and prefer a more direct teaching style, you'll likely get a lot from this workshop. Beginners should just be prepared for a steeper learning curve.
  • 5/5 from Nadine Evert, attended Jun 2026: Emily is knowledgeable and made it look so easy. Only recommendations would be to keep the class groups smaller to allow for a little more working Ng area. I enjoyed it and learnt a few valuable tips and tricks
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2026: My only problems was that we didn't really have much time to decorate at the end. And also people did not wear closed in shoes and that is not a good look for a commercial kitchen to let people in against health and safety standards.
