Susy’s patience and kindness stood out immediately—there was never a moment that felt rushed or overwhelming. Instead, Susy guided us with a calm, encouraging presence that made learning feel effortless. What truly set this class apart, though, was Susy’s generosity to share. Susy’s sharing techniques and tips that encourages home bakers like me to continue practicing this skill! Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, take this class. I walked away not only with new techniques and confidence, but with a deep appreciation for the artistry behind buttercream. Thank you Susy!

I'm a passionate baker with a specialty in buttercream decoration. For 12 years, I was the one-woman show behind Suzy Q's Cupcakes.
Suzy Q's began in 2012 when I couldn't find cupcakes in Sydney that reminded me of the flavors from my native USA. Initially, I started by making simple cupcakes but as my skills and business grew, my creations evolved into more intricate and vibrant designs.
While anyone can bake a cupcake or cake, it's the icing and decorations that truly bring them to life! Allow me to simplify the techniques of creating and decorating with buttercream into easy-to-follow steps that you can efficiently master.
You'll have the opportunity to practice these skills in class so that you can confidently create stunning designs at home.
There's something special about sharing a cupcake with loved ones to celebrate life's milestones and happy occasions - it's one of life’s simple pleasures.
So come along—let's decorate together!
