  • 4/5 from Carol Clemson, attended Apr 2026: Really useful class. Rachel gave me loads of top tips and useful info. She talked me through each step and gave me chance to practice and asked me what I wanted to focus on so I could get the most of out it. I really enjoyed jt
  • 5/5 from Aliya Usman, attended Feb 2026: I recently took a cake decorating class with Rachel and I can't recommend her enough! She is a fantastic instructor who is clearly a master of her craft. I learned so much in just one session. Rachel has a way of explaining things that makes even the tricky parts feel doable. She was incredibly generous with her pro tips that you just don't get from watching videos online. She gave me personalized feedback, and really helped me refine my technique. You get to take the cake home to show off your skill. My family couldn’t believe that I decorated the cake myself. Thank you all at Bento and Rachel.
  • 5/5 from Sian Donald, attended Oct 2025: So glad I booked this one-to-one! Rachel is so friendly and helpful — I came away with a great understanding of tips and tricks for decorating cakes. She really goes above and beyond to tailor the class to what you want to learn and improve on. I thoroughly enjoyed it and even got to make a beautiful cake! Highly recommend booking!
  • 5/5 from Mohammed Yehia, attended May 2025: Rachel is amazing! This was a gift from my husband to support my business venture and it was truly worth it! I learnt so much from her as she explained things in great detail. She allowed me lots of time to practice. She gave me all the skills I needed to decorate a stunning cake all by myself and I even got to take it home. It was delicious too!!! I would 100% reccomend.

The Palms Bakery is a micro bakery based in the heart of Manchester specialising in Wedding and Celebration cakes. Founder Rachel started the bakery full-time in 2020 right before lockdown. After a few bumpy months, our bakery found its home here at Pollard Yard.
We’re excited to now offer cake decorating classes here at The Palms Bakery where we cover a range of techniques.
