Fun Cake Decorating classes / courses in Sydney

Cake decorating is one of those skills that can intimidate baking beginners. The pros make it look effortless. You might think it’s as easy as whipping up some buttercream icing on a cake and smoothing it out for a clean, professional look, right? Well, if you’ve ever tried cake decorating at home, you’ve probably realised that it’s not as easy as it looks. A chef at a cake decorating shop likely has years of experience that lead to the perfect rainbow cake with the unbelievable unicorn cake topper. Many pastry chefs have gone through rigorous professional training to be able to pull off a chocolate drip cake. Of course, you don’t see the years of hard work in a short DIY cake decorating video, which can make the process absolutely confuddling when you try it at home.

 But don’t give up yet! You don’t have to become a professional pastry chef to improve your decorating skills. In fact, a short cake decorating workshop may be just what you need to start making professional-looking cakes right at home. The key is to find the cake decorating pros who are willing to share their secrets, and ClassBento has gathered the best cake decorating teachers in Sydney to do just that. By enrolling in the best cake decorating classes in Sydney, you’ll be well on your way to wowing your friends and family with your cake decorating shop window creations. 

Whether you’re interested in making tasty cupcakes or the perfect chocolate drip cake, there are plenty of cake classes for you to choose from. In a beginners cake decorating class, you’ll cover the basics of smooth, professional buttercream icing work and learn how to make edible cake toppers. Or, you might opt for vegan cake classes to challenge your use of veggie-based ingredients. There are cake decorating courses at a variety of times and in different parts of the city so that you never run out of fun things to do in Sydney. 

Because everyone loves cake, cake decorating classes are popular for a variety of occasions. Cake decorating workshops are some of the best kids activities Sydney has to offer, and they’re also relaxing things to do in Sydney at night if you’re looking to unwind after work. Or, get a group of friends together for an upcoming hen’s party or birthday party. Cake decorating courses are even fun things to do in Sydney for couples especially if you’re looking for experience gifts in Sydney for a partner with a taste for desserts.

Unlike formal cake decorating courses, these friendly workshops are relaxing and engaging. Your lively cake decorating instructor will tell you all the tips and secrets of cake decorating that have kept you in the realm of homemade-looking cakes. Then, you’ll be able to apply your newfound knowledge by decorating a cake of your own. It’s not every workshop that you get to bring home an entire cake to enjoy, which makes these classes some of the most unique experiences Sydney has hiding up its sleeve. 

Health benefits of cake decorating 

Okay, we’ll admit that if you’re looking for a physically healthy hobby, taking home a whole cake to eat isn’t exactly great for your blood sugar levels. But, once you become better at cake decorating, you’ll realise that it’s not just about the cake. Cake decorating is a calming, focused activity that will leave you feeling proud when you’re finished. And, you’ll love baking homemade cakes for all of your loved one’s special events. If you’re looking for a hobby that will make you feel fulfilled and connected, cake decorating is perfect. Just make sure you have friends and family to help you eat the finished product.

Absolutely loved learning how to make a wafer paper flower and hope to use them for cake decorating. Anna Maria was lovely, clear with her instructions, and provided lots of little helpful hints and tips. I would love to do one of her longer in person classes to learn more.

Iced Cookie Decorating Class - Easter Edition

The teacher helped us how to decorate cookies with the use of different consistencies of royal icing and showed us the feel of these consistencies. She is very helpful in showing us piping techniques and gave us tips to achieve the perfect icing. We were provided with baked cookies and a practice sheet for piping to start with. We also got to take our creations home, as well as cookie recipes! This class is perfect for the holiday season to make cookies for friends and family ♥️

Contemporary Mooncake Masterclass



Made nontraditional, contemporary mooncakes in an open kitchen at the lovely venue, Cielo Dessert Co.

Coffee and tea was offered on arrival by cool and friendly staff. Once my group had all arrived the teacher gave us the recipe for her contemporary mooncake, and she ran us through some of the ingredients, trial and error (things she realised during her career - what works and what doesn't), and the steps.
During this, we asked freely any questions we had and she was extremely helpful and knowledgable! Then we got started with the baking. As we proceeded, there were some more questions regarding ingredients and this was answered by a food scientist who is a member of staff! This was super cool.

The lesson was in an open kitchen so it felt like we were working there - this was very fun, it was a unique experience.

The venue was beautiful - modern/contemporary. The lighting and colour schemes of the venue worked magic for our photos. Music was also great - chilled music, love songs, ballads - worked perfectly with the space.

This was most certainly a good value for money. We had a lot of fun learning new skills and being creative with the decorations of our own mooncakes!

All in all a great session. Cool, friendly, and knowledgable teacher and staff. Pretty venue with good music and overall a good vibe.

Loved this class. Small class of 5. Each student had individual icings and had time to practise before moving onto the cookies
Thanks for the great morning Su. Great teaching skills, tutoring methods and skills
Definitely would do again and recommend for anyone interested in cookie decorating or just looking for a hobbie

Wafer Paper Flower Class: Vintage Blooms

Anna Maria is a patient and conscientious teacher, making sure you understand all the tiny details and learn the skills you need to replicate what you learn outside of the classroom. Her passion for her work (and her students) is clear and her attention to detail is impeccable. She spends a lot of time preparing and planning for her classes which ensure that her classes run smoothly and you learn techniques clearly. She is very helpful and her craftsmanship is stunning. Her own work is beautiful however she is also able to transfer her knowledge to her students so that our work is great too.

I had a fun time decorating my Christmas cookies! Being a beginner, Su clearly explained the basics of cookie decorating from the materials required and the techniques. I love how we were all given the opportunity to decorate our cookies in many different ways. The venue was super cute, I love how she hosts workshops in her baking shop!
