Not your everyday cake decorating class! Join our hands-on illusion baking class and learn how to craft realistic confectionery olives!
Don't worry if you're new to baking, our class is designed for beginners, and our friendly instructor will guide you every step of the way. You'll be amazed at what you can create with just a bit of guidance and creativity!
What you’ll learn:
  • Make three distinct styles of candy olives: Sicilian, Stuffed Pimento, and Kalamata.
  • Experiment with unique cake decorating mediums by working with a range of confectionery types, discovering how each one responds to handling and how best to shape and control them.
  • Get hands-on with expert tips on colouring, storing, and styling your creations beautifully on a tasting board.
By the end of the class, you will take home your very own batch of lifelike confectionery olives to impress family and friends with your newfound skills.
What you'll get
  • All ingredients and equipment are provided.
  • After the class, you’ll receive a detailed PDF with step-by-step photos to guide your future creations.
  • Enjoy a surprise tasting platter featuring a selection of our other sweet illusions during afternoon tea – plus bonus samples to take home!
  • Take home all your own handcrafted treats – a dozen of each type of olive.
  • As a bonus, you’ll also receive a gourmet cracker recipe to pair with your creations.
Note: This workshop will still run with a single attendee. In this case, the final tasting platter will simply be a smaller, paired-back version.

Hi, I'm Erica – welcome to my Crafty Kitchen!
I've been creating for as long as I can remember. I learnt to crochet at the age of eight and discovered my love of baking and cooking as a teenager. Now, nearly five decades later, I'm still just as passionate about experimenting, learning, and bringing new ideas to life. Entirely self-taught, I've spent years refining my skills through trial and error, endless note-taking, and a healthy dose of curiosity. Whether I'm creating realistic crochet play food, designing amigurumi, or crafting edible illusions, I love finding ways to transform ordinary materials into something unexpected.
Teaching allows me to share that passion with others. I believe creativity should be fun, accessible, and never intimidating. My classes are relaxed, beginner-friendly, and focused on helping people build confidence while creating something they're proud of. There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing the delight and surprise on people's faces when they realise what they've created—or when they discover that things aren't always quite what they seem!
