  • 5/5 from Lauren Zukowski, attended Jan 2025: One of the most informative creative classes I’ve attended. The workshop focused on practical skills, teaching us not just the techniques but also the reasoning behind them, along with how to bake specifically for piping. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and we all left with great results we felt confident about recreating at home.
  • 5/5 from Geoff Procter, attended Jan 2025: Loved the class with Carly - the thing I really loved was that she went to the beginning and showed us exactly how to make the butter icing …the basis of a successful outcome. This means we know exactly how to achieve the correct consistency, and how to colour and flavour it without mucking the consistency up. Then came the demo’s, the practise and finally the artistic licence to make our own designs - absolutely fabulous couple of hours. Carly answered all our questions and honestly, everyone was thrilled with their cupcakes! I’d be keen to attend another class to build on my current knowledge! Can’t wait for the next family birthday!!

Hi, I'm Carli and I'm a cake teacher.
I grew up in Perth, in a house where my mum made delicious treats every weekend from scratch.
I’m talking vanilla slice, chocolate eclairs, fairy cakes, cinnamon scrolls. Really, I could go on.
I got diagnosed with a nut allergy at 19, and it kind of flipped my dessert world upside down. I knew I would have to learn to bake for myself to enjoy safe treats and satisfy that sweet tooth.
My dream became a reality when I studied at TAFE and ran a successful home baking business for many years, baking safe treats for all occasions. I then discovered a love of teaching. I’d once planned to study a Dip Ed and go into teaching so I guess it makes sense, but wowee, do I get a buzz out of it!
I have a passion for food and I LOVE sharing my baking tips with others so they too can create delicious memories with loved ones. I’m not sure there’s anything better than sitting down and savouring some home-baked treats, so I want to pass that on to as many people as I can.
I am also about making baking easy and fitting in around your life/health/kids. Baking doesn’t need to be overly complicated or mean needing more tools than you know what to do with. I’m all about simplicity.
At Baking Club, my team and I run events for adults, kids, corporate events and hens. Let's see what we can create together!
