What a fantastic couple of hours learning how to make a drip cake.
There was 5 of us and trying to organise a time was difficult so we had a private lesson in one if the ladies houses.
Lesley was fantastic. Very patient and extremely encouragingly .
Everything was provided for us to create our cakes.

As I walked into the venue the chocolate aroma was very evident - we learned how to layer chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache, decorate sugar cookies, dribble more chocolate ganache and decorate using a large variety of chocolate … our guide, Lesley, was very organised, very knowledgeable and really helpful throughout the process. It was a friendly relaxed class and a must for chocolate lovers.

Fatmah Haroone • Mar 2023

Recently attended this class and truly had a wonderful experience. Lesley is a skilled and knowledgeable instructor who was passionate about her craft and eager to share her expertise.

The location was convenient with plenty of parking available. Each student was provided with their own workspace complete with all of the necessary tools and equipment. The class size was small, which allowed for plenty of one-on-one instruction and attention.
Lesley was patient and encouraging, and willing to answer our questions and provide feedback on our work.

Overall, I would highly recommend this cake decorating class to anyone who is interested, whether they are a professional or someone who is just starting out.

Kiri Smith • Mar 2023

It very knowledgeable teacher with loads of experience. Generous with the sharing of her knowledge and her time to get the most from the class.

My daughter loved this experience for her birthday. It went for a good 2hrs full of hands on cake decorating

Salonee Barmecha • Sep 2022

Incredible value for money! Lesley brought everything for the class & my mum and I had a relaxed fun afternoon learning a skill I never thought I could develop. No matter what your skill level, Lesley is patient and explains every step clearly so you can easily follow along and replicate out of the class too. Highly highly recommend!

Teacher was great and she showed exactly what we needed to do and she made the class enjoyable.
The venue was really nice. Clean and white made it so relaxing to do a class in.

All three of us had fun and it was very enjoyable.

We will eventually do another decoration class but just cause of Covid we haven't but hoping soon to do the cupcake decorating class.

Helen Nicholas • Feb 2022

What a lovely class I learned so much and enjoyed having a laugh with such a friendly and talented teacher. A really relaxed class that left me confident enough to go now and produce an impressive cake for friends and family. Perfect for all skill levels.

Great class. Everything provided. Lesley was lovely. We cut the cakes, used ganache to fill and do the sides. Drip and ganache the top then decorate with lots more chocolates. Lesley was great and walked us through everything. We also marbled fondant to ice sugar cookies for more decorations.

Lesley's class was very enjoyable. She was prepared and orgnaised. Location in Edgecliff was very central and space was light and bright. I loved the cake and found it so easy to decorate under instruction.

Maria Nastasi • Jul 2019

Great class learnt some very simple and effective techniques. Studio was clean with plenty of room. Parking was a little difficult due to the nature of the area. Instruction was helpful and generous with materials and time. Had a great time
