  • 5/5 from Michelle Jarred, attended Jan 2025: My 14yo daughter and I attended and loved it. We both learned so much, I feel well equipped to create cakes on my own. Janeen was so lovely and covered techniques in detail so well.
  • 5/5 from Suzanne Dang, attended Nov 2024: My second time doing this class with Janeen, and I still learnt lots! It enforced my learnings a bit better. Thank you Janeen for your continued expertise, friendliness and openess in people asking questions.
  • 5/5 from Nicole Dabelstein, attended Nov 2024: Wonderful
  • 5/5 from Beverley Shepherd, attended Aug 2024: Omg this cake decorating class exceeded my expectations and Janeen was very understanding of my needs as I have a learning disorder and Janeen went above and beyond to explain things so I could pick up the pipping techniques and she was very patient with me. I loved trying a peice of the cake and the cake and buttercream was to die for. Im that impressed that I will be booking in for another class at the end of this month so I can fine tune my pipping techniques. Thanks so much Janeen as you are so friendly and kind and easy going.
  • 5/5 from Dina Nabil, attended Jun 2024: Loved the class!! Janeen was lovely, and ended up with a delicious and lovely looking small cake and cupcakes
  • 5/5 from Kayt Christian, attended Jun 2024: Fantastic class, amazing value for money. Very well run and very patient instructor. Very much enjoyed the class and high levels of respect for the art and skill of cake decorating.
  • 5/5 from Suzanne Dang, attended Jan 2024: Janeen (The Accidental Caker) - you are so phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your tips with me for this class. I feel so proud of how far I've come in my baking journey - thanks to you. You have given me not only hope, but skills to increase my confidence in baking. I look back and seen how far I've come (for those don't know, I have done ten classes with Janeen now) and thanks to your expertise and patience with me. You've encouraged me and I know and feel comfortable with asking questions (there's no 'silly' questions). My loved ones enjoyed the layer cake and cupcakes so much. Thank you again for praising and giving me confidence (again!) in my baking. I highly recommend this class and you WILL get your money's worth.

My love of baking was formed at a very young age and some of my fondest memories as a child are when I was helping my Mother and Grandmother in the kitchen. Whilst I love all forms of cooking, baking is my favourite. I love to try new recipes and techniques and have developed some of my own recipes.
My decorating skills were not always as they are now but I always strived to improve. It was by accident, after a friend gifted me a decorating class almost 10 years ago, that I fell in love with cake decorating. Since then, I have sought out opportunities to improve my skills and have attended decorating classes with internationally renowned decorators.
A few of whom are:
  • By.Aletoso
  • Queen of Hearts Couture Cupcakes
  • Moreish Cakes
  • Don’t tell Charles
  • Bon Vivant Cakes
  • Astashkina Cakes and
  • Le Cordon Bleu
In my classes, most of which are aimed at beginner decorators, I aim to provide my participants with all the necessary information to take what they have learnt home to create beautifully decorated cakes and cupcakes.
So, if you’ve tried to decorate and just didn’t quite get the results you wanted, come along to a class, you’ll be pleased you did!
