Learn to make and decorate some classic cupcakes

Cupcakes always go down a treat — whether you’re catering for a special occasion or you want to just treat yourself on a weekend, no one can resist the combination of fluffy cake and piles of colourful icing. They can be pricey when bought from a professional bakery, so why not learn to make some of your own at a cake decorating class in London?

At this cupcake decorating class from the Greenwich Pantry, you’ll be learning the ins and outs of making some iconic cupcakes from some professional bakers. A brilliant way to get a feel for both the baking and decorating aspects of making cupcakes, you’ll make a brace of delicious little morsels using a combination of different flavours. 

Will you choose a basic-but-delicious vanilla, or go off-piste and create your own wild concoction? Whatever you decide, you’ll leave with some gorgeous cupcakes to share with your friends and family (or keep for yourself; we won’t judge!).

Take your skills to the next level with airbrushed cake decorating

While learning how to pipe buttercream or sculpt royal icing are essential skills for cake decorating, this cake decorating workshop in London will show you how to kick things up a notch by using an airbrush to turn your cakes into edible works of art.

Hosted by a friendly tutor, you’ll be kitted out with all the equipment you need to make some stunning works of art on your future cakes — and don’t worry about any little accidents, as you’ll be working on a dummy cake until you get the hang of things! Once you do, you’ll enjoy the freedom to create all manner of gorgeous scenes and motifs that’ll bring a real wow factor to your next celebration cake.

Get the kids involved with a cupcake masterclass

Whether you’re looking for fun things to do with kids during the school holidays or you want to encourage your kids’ interest in baking, this cupcake decorating workshop for kids is a brilliant option for budding bakers.

Under the guidance of experienced and friendly tutors from The Avenue Cookery School, kids will learn the essentials of cupcake design, from mixing the perfect icing to adding colours, flavours and making cute designs that they’ll love to share. Don’t worry if this is their first time baking, either, as they’ll have plenty of support throughout this London cake decorating class to make sure their cupcakes turn out just the way they want them. Not to forget the added bonus of them bringing home their delicious creations to share with you!

Make any occasion extra special with a cupcake bouquet

No matter the occasion, you can’t go wrong with buying someone flowers — a good bouquet can brighten up anyone’s day! But if you want to take your gifts for mum to a new and more indulgent level, why not try a cute and quirky cupcake bouquet?

At this cupcake decorating workshop from the Academy of Cake Decorating in St. Albans, you’ll learn how to transform a brace of cupcakes into a stunning and surprising bouquet. You’ll learn the best way to pipe icing to create a host of floral effects, as well as how to colour your creations to get them looking good enough to eat. Your talented instructor at this cake decorating workshop in London will start by giving you a brief rundown of each step of the process through some live demonstrations before you’ll give it a go for yourself.

They’ll share the benefit of their experience throughout the class, giving you tips on everything from selecting your nozzle to the correct way to hold a piping bag. You’ll leave brimming with sweet decorating skills, along with your gorgeous bouquet ready to be delivered to its lucky recipient.
