Recent reviews of Bento Cake Decorating Workshop

  • 5/5 from Thelisha Chetty, attended Oct 2026: Neek was a lovely instructor who taught the basics well and then gave us the freedom to design our cakes however we want. She was really patient and calm, making the whole experience feel therapeutic and fun.
  • 5/5 from Marina Baresic, attended Oct 2026: Amazing class and a great teacher. Gave us all the tips and tricks and helped us with our cakes when needed. We each decorated a small premade sponge cake with icing (could add a flavour of our choice) and used food colouring, sprinkles, shimmery dust.. The class starts with trying out different piping techniques and then moving on to decorating your own cake. I went away with a beautiful cake and techniques to use when baking and decorating at home.
  • 5/5 from Racquel John, attended Oct 2026: The teacher was great. She took us through each stage, making it easy to practice and understand the process. The techniques learnt really helped set a solid foundation for cake assembly. A fun and educational class overall.

Baking has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old, when my grandmother first taught me how to make cakes from scratch. It was those early days in the kitchen that sparked a lifelong love for creating delicious treats. Over the years, I've honed my skills, including attending a cake decoration course to perfect my craft. There's something truly special about transforming simple ingredients into edible art, and I find so much joy in sharing that with others.
I love teaching because it allows me to connect with people over a shared passion. Whether it's helping someone master a new technique or watching their excitement as they decorate their first cake, it's rewarding to see others grow in confidence and creativity. My workshops provide a fun, relaxed environment where anyone—whether a beginner or experienced baker—can feel inspired.
One thing people might not realise about baking is just how therapeutic it can be. For me, it's always been a way to express creativity and unwind, and I aim to pass that sense of calm and enjoyment onto my students. I've had the pleasure of working with many students, from hobby bakers to those looking for something unique for their events. Whether you're after a fun bonding experience or just want to learn a new skill, I'm here to guide you through the sweet world of cake decorating.
