I'm an East London Cake designer who specialises in the art of storytelling through my cute and furry mini monster cakes!

I use cakes as a medium to tell stories and give the illusion of life as seen in my recent collection "my inner monsters" where I design cute little cakes that illustrate my quiet negative emotions. I also love my travel series with Choky's Cakes where they go to Mexico, Milan, and more!

I run themed workshops regularly as I find baking extremely therapeutic and want to share the same experience with all of you.

My brother and I had a fabulous time in this class. Sarah was so friendly in advance of the class, giving us the option of decorating 3 cake designs and sending us instructions on how to find the venue.

The class was so relaxing, it was a lovely setting. Sarah was a great teacher showing us how to do certain methods as well as checking our progress throughout. We found the pace of the class was great, enough timing to decorate the sponge with buttercream twice and then practising our designs for the top. We chose the wreath design and left with a lovely bento cake with a lovely ribbon, label and flowery garnish. We would definitely do this class again! Looking forward to a Valentines and Easter class!

Probably the best cake decorating class I have been to!

Found this gem of a workshop, where I learnt fundamental skills of cake decorating in a fun and positive environment which I found truly enjoyable! The attention to detail and quality from Choky (our teacher) was fantastic. She was very accommodating to all skill levels and was patient in spending the time to help us make the perfect bento cake - I could feel that she was genuinely keen to teach and see us learn. The agenda of the class was well prepared, and covered fundamental concepts of crumb coating, optimal colour combinations, and finally the art of cake piping! I also liked the fact that the class was themed for Christmas, which made it interesting vs. a normal cake class. As a bonus, the cosy room ambience and warm hospitality from Sarah made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Would definitely recommend, and would be keen to go for the next cake themed class going forward
