Really a great experience working with piping, buttercream and building a cake. Tips are very useful and handy. Although, I did feel that Rubina treated me differently as though I couldn’t handle the pace, eg, (buttercreaming my cake and making my choc decoration - the enjoyable bits!) I am very capable. Apart from that, thank you.

"I had such a great time at this beginner’s cake decorating class! The instructor was incredibly patient and broke down how to use piping bags and smooth my buttercream into manageable steps. The studio was clean and well-stocked. I came away with a gorgeous lovely cupcakes that looked professional, and I can't wait to practice my new skills." Thank you Ribana Tripadvisor +5

Chef Ribana was a wonderful teacher, her skill and knowledge is amazing so much better than any other course I've done. I did two sessions from her 10 week course, met another lovely lady who was completing the entire course. Fantastic value for money over 3 hours, everything included with 1:2 teaching in her lovely little venue. I hope to go back soon, thank you.

 I'm a total beginner. Will I be able to follow this course?

Yes! The course starts with the basics. I will guide you through each step with clear instructions and demonstrations so all you do is to follow my guidance and success is guaranteed.

 

I want to improve my skills. Is this course right for me?

Absolutely! This course is designed to build on your existing skills and take you to the next level. You'll learn additional techniques, gain confidence in troubleshooting, and discover creative ways to play with flavours, mediums and styles.

 

 I have dietary restrictions (vegan, nut allergies). Will this course cater to me?

The course uses a variety of ingredients, some of which may not be suitable for all dietary needs. But I'm happy to share recipes and tips for making allergy-friendly treats.

Please note: We won't be using nuts in class, but there's a chance of traces as we handle them in the bakery.

 

 I want to start a cake business. Is this course helpful for that?

This course is just about decorating.

If you're considering starting a business I offer group and one-on-one coaching to help you figure out your brand and business plan. Just let me know if you're interested.

 

Is the course hands -on?

This is a 100% hands-on course.Expect to create beautiful treats just like the photos, and you even get to choose your own colors for decorating. Best of all, you'll take home everything you make at the end of each class.

 

 I don't have equipment. Will that make baking and decorating difficult after completing the course ?

Absolutely not! Don't worry about equipment. I'll show you how to start with just a few basic tools and save money. As a cake shop owner for over 20 years, I'll recommend smart investments based on what you actually need. You'll be able to recreate everything we do in class without breaking the bank! Plus, you'll get to use some professional equipment during the course, but that doesn't mean you have to buy it all to keep baking at home.

 

What if I'm not satisfied with the course?

I'm confident you'll love this course! I've taught hundreds of students, and they've all had a great time. If you feel the pace is too fast or you need more time to absorb the information, just let me know. I'm here to help you succeed and feel comfortable every step of the way!

 

Do I have to attend the workshop at specific time?

We advice students to be present for the full 3 hours That will allow practice and  completion of the project at a good standard. We understand that life happens, but unfortunately, we can't offer refunds for a missed class.


 

When does the course start and end?

Theis is a 3 hours workshop running on the day mentioned at the time of booking

 

Is there a refund policy?

We're committed to providing you with a top-notch learning experience and we stand behind our training programs. However, due to the nature of our courses, we have a specific refund policy in place:
  • No refunds once the course begins. We prepare materials and resources well in advance, and your spot in the class is reserved exclusively for you.

  • Transfer your spot after the 2-week cancellation window. If you can't attend but it's too late for a refund, you're welcome to transfer your spot to someone else.

We believe this policy is fair and transparent, allowing us to deliver the best possible experience to all our students while also respecting your investmen
