OUR STUDIO IS NOW OPEN! BAKING & CAKE DECORATING CLASSES
Introducing Classes For All Levels
For a number of years I worked in the field of Training and Development as an Instructor and Training Manager. I later set up and ran a successful training company of my own winning a business award. During that time, I taught many students a range of courses in business, IT and personal development. I also taught the train the trainer course and helped lots of students move into coaching and training careers themselves.
I decided to combine my teaching skills with my passion for cake design and offer a range of courses suitable for all levels of experience. I write my own course material and every student will receive a course workbook with comprehensive notes to refer back to.
Whether you are new to cake making and wish to learn a new hobby or an experienced cake designer who wishes to enhance their existing skill set, I can offer something to you all.
Learn In Our Dedicated Studio
I have always enjoyed teaching and I am told that I have a relaxed, informal training style giving clear instructions throughout. I believe in small, instructor led classes as this allows me to spend more time with each student, supporting them throughout their training. Training takes place at my purpose built cake studio in Astley, Manchester.
