Recent reviews of Buttercream 101 Masterclass

  • 5/5 from Karen Stanley, attended Mar 2026: We had a lovely evening in the buttercream 101 masterclass. We learnt how to decorate cupcakes with different nozzles and the teacher was very helpful and informative. I know I need to practice now but overall I was very happy with what I created.
  • 5/5 from Philippa Borland, attended Dec 2025: This class was a birthday give, and it was great. We learned to make buttercream as well as multiple techniques to decorate cupcakes.
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Gardiner, attended Nov 2025: I had a great time at the BUTTERCREAM101 course. I was actually very lucky to have one on one tuition as the other people that booked could not attend. My instructor was wonderful and very knowledgeable about how to make the perfect butter cream icing. I can’t wait to put my new skills into practice!!
  • 5/5 from Maria Miller, attended Sep 2025: I did the buttercream 101 course with Hannah and absolutely loved it! She’s a patient, talented teacher who makes learning fun and easy. I left feeling confident and inspired—highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Amy Hadley, attended Aug 2025: My friend and I had a fantastic time in this class. Hannah was a terrific teacher who showed us what to do and gave us plenty of helpful tips along the way. The buttercream itself was super delicious, and surprisingly easy to work with. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to make buttercream and ways to decorate with it. We bought the take-home kit, which I'd recommend if you see yourself wanting to practise after the class.
  • 5/5 from Lynette Chambers, attended Jul 2024: Very enjoyable and informative, Hannah was a great teacher and all tools/ingredients needed were provided.
  • 4/5 from Jacqui Bogue, attended Jul 2024: The class was fun Instructor was good Don't need any baking skills to participate
  • 3/5 from Roslyn Elliott, attended Jul 2024: Give specific details of the address of the class for people driving from outside the Sydney CBD.
  • 5/5 from Janet Fitzpatrick, attended May 2024: My daughter and I had the best time with Hannah at the Buttercream 101 class. We love making cakes for family occasions and I've never really made many cupcakes (that don't look home made). I inherited so many piping tips from my dear mum but have never really known what to use them for apart from decorating with little rosettes. So I wanted to find firstly a never fail recipe for the cakes and the most suitable recipe for the icing (having tried quite a few). Hannah was the best teacher and answered all the questions we had so we came away feeling that we had really nailed what we wanted to learn. For Ali, it was the first time away from her new (2nd) baby and it was such a relaxing afternoon and really a hoot!!!! The venue was perfect for our small group of 5 and we all had the opportunity to share ideas (and piping colours!!!!) for our creations. We took home our box of cupcakes and armed with plenty of new skills will now feel confident to start replicating these for the next decade or so!!!! for the grandchildren's birthdays... parking was super easy and everything was very professional.
  • 5/5 from Monique Zimany, attended Apr 2024: Great class on how to make the perfect butter cream as well as how to decorate cup cakes!

  • 5/5 from Alicia Grunseit, attended Feb 2024: Fantastic class. I went with my 12 year old daughter. Learnt so many different pipping techniques. It was so much fun.
  • 5/5 from Glenda Rowlings, attended Jan 2024: The 3 staff that were running my class on the 14/1/24 were fantastic. They showed attention to detail and were happy to answer any questions. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon.

  • 5/5 from Yoann Celton, attended Nov 2023: This workshop was fantastic - I've never had success with piping and was so surprised with what we were able to achieve in the workshop. Our teacher was super knowledgeable and lovely. Definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Orla Nangle, attended Nov 2023: The buttercream 101 class was exactly what I was looking for to perfect my piping skills on cupcakes. The class was led by Veronica, who was really helpful, informative and friendly and Veronica showed us many different piping techniques. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere in the academy which made the whole experience so enjoyable. Good value for money too, would really recommend.
  • 4/5 from Anthony Weir, attended Nov 2023: It was easy to book (as a gift). My wife said she enjoyed it. She learned about the different types of ingredients to use. There was one participant who came in late and disrupted the class however this was a minor distraction.
  • 4/5 from Danielle Baggio, attended Nov 2023: The teacher was great and prompt to explain and answer questions. Really helpful and kind. The products were great and well presented and prepared. I just think it should have been taught the traditional buttercream and explained more about how to fix mistakes and then the variations of it. But it was a good class.
  • 5/5 from Eiko Magick, attended Sep 2023: Teachers were all friendly, easy parking, lesson was fantastic to learn the basic of buttercream and piping. I’m looking forward to taking other classes!
