  • 5/5 from Habib Raj, attended Dec 2024: My husband booked this class for our anniversary and what a treat it was! Location: We travelled from Luton to visit this workshop and it was well worth the drive! Location was great as there was parking readily available and it was simple to get to the studio. Host: Our host was absolutely brilliant. Right from the very start, through to the end, Aisha made us feel comfortable. On arrival, she had set up some tea and biccies - perfect as it was freezing outside and it was a nice way to warm us up. She was well informed and it was clear she knew exactly what she was talking about (definitely a level of cake expertise there). She helped us create our cakes and answered any questions we had. I even picked up some piping skills - which I was thrilled about! Venue: Aisha had set the venue up beautifully. It was clear a lot of thought and love had gone into the presentation of everything. Very appealing to the eye and even more so impressive that we had everything we needed at the touch of a fingertip. Class: The delivery of the class was well paced. Aisha took her time going through each step with us, she did not rush us and assured us we were able to take our time creating our masterpieces. Even when I wasn’t fully satisfied with my writing using the piping bag, she encouraged me to restart if I wanted to. All the necessary tools and more were made available, including aprons, palette knives, spatulas, ribbon, sprinkles etc. The cake fillings and colour selection were great allowing us to go wild with flavours and designs. Our cakes were placed in the cutest burger boxes, tied with ribbon and we were able to take them home in cute bags! Overall, if you are thinking of booking this class please don’t hesitate. Both my husband and I have never decorated a cake before and we found it to be a fantastic couple hours of fun and unwinding. I’d recommend this over and over - wish we had one close to home!
