  • 5/5 from Adriana Bernal, attended Aug 2026: I am absolutely over the moon with this class! It was such a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Heidy was punctual, professional, kind, patient and incredibly supportive throughout the whole experience. She explained everything step by step, from making the Italian-style buttercream to achieving the perfect frosting. Her guidance and support were truly priceless. There were just three of us enthusiastic ladies in the class, which made the experience feel very personal, relaxed and enjoyable. We also had the opportunity to practise a little piping, which was so much fun! Heidy made sure we could take our beautiful creations home safely by providing a practical cake box, which was such a thoughtful touch. Heidy is absolutely fabulous, and I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn, have fun and create something beautiful. I left feeling so happy and proud of what I had made. Thank you so much, Heidy, for such a wonderful experience!

  • 5/5 from Ann Jones, attended Sep 2025: Great class - lots of fun. Heidy is an expert in her craft and a very clever and patient teacher. I learned everything I hoped to pick up and more. The hands-on class was just what I needed to get me on the way to producing very professional results. You can learn only so much from watching online tutorials - the practical look and feel of how to achieve great results was so much better in our small class setting. We made Italian buttercream from scratch then frosted our individual small cakes to take home. There was plenty of attention to problem solving (such as when I stuck my thumb into the almost-finished frosting job). The class gave me confidence to give making celebration cakes to be proud of for my family and friends.

  • 5/5 from Susan Youngs, attended Mar 2025: Heidy was excellent, very friendly and charming. She was encouraging and patient. Explained everything in detail. She has given me so much more confidence in covering cakes properly. Showed me the right consistency in the buttercream and amounts. Can’t wait to make another cake to put my new sills to the test. I would highly recommend Heidy.
  • 5/5 from Ahlam, attended Mar 2025: Very good teacher
  • 5/5 from Maria Aquilina, attended Mar 2025: Heidy was lovely, very informative with step by step instructions on making Swiss buttercream and covering a cake to perfection. I liked the fact we did it all ourselves under her watchful eye.
