Spend 90 minutes creating something truly special in the heart of Vanilla Ice Cakes – our welcoming Manchester shop where you'll design, decorate, and customise your own bento cake with expert guidance every step of the way. Whether you're marking a birthday, celebrating a hen do, catching up with your best mate, or simply taking some well-deserved time out for yourself, this masterclass is designed to be a brilliant, stress-free creative escape.
Here's what makes it so special: we've done all the hard work for you. The baking, the prep, the mess – that's all on us. What you get is the pure joy of decorating. You'll arrive at our shop to find freshly baked sponges waiting, professional decorating tools at hand, and a friendly, knowledgeable teacher ready to show you exactly how to bring your vision to life. No previous experience needed – whether you're a confident baker or you've never decorated anything before, you'll feel supported and inspired the whole way through.
Over 90 minutes, you'll learn techniques, explore colour combinations, add personal touches, and create a one-of-a-kind bento cake that's entirely yours. It's hands-on, it's creative, and honestly, it's such a feel-good way to spend an afternoon. You'll leave with your custom cake to take home (and since a standard bento cake normally costs £25 on its own, your £55 ticket is brilliant value – it covers your finished cake, the full experience, drinks, snacks, and all materials).
We cap our public sessions at 10 guests maximum, so you'll always get plenty of space and personal attention. We're open Tuesday to Sunday, making it easy to find a time that works for you – and if you're planning something bigger for a special occasion, you can book the shop exclusively for 10 or more guests.
Suitable for ages 16+.
What you'll get
  • Welcome Drinks & Snacks: Grab a hot or cold drink and freshly baked snacks as soon as you arrive.
  • 100% All-Inclusive Materials: Premium sponges, silky buttercream, professional equipment, and aprons are fully provided.
  • Step-by-Step Guidance: All skill levels are welcome—whether you're a total beginner or already have some experience, we guide you right from a blank sponge to a finished masterpiece.
  • Your Custom Bento Cake: Walk away with your very own custom bento cake to keep or gift.

My passion for baking started almost two decades ago as a late-night passion project. While balancing a demanding full-time career, I spent my evenings and weekends perfecting my craft in my home kitchen—tackling everything from delicate, intricate cupcakes to bespoke wedding cakes. Baking became my ultimate creative outlet, a way to bring sweetness and celebration into people's biggest milestones.
The real turning point came after the birth of my first child. It gave me the clarity and motivation to step away from the traditional routine, take a leap of faith, and turn my passion into a full-time business. That journey reached its ultimate milestone in 2020, when I officially opened the doors to our physical home, Vanilla Ice Cakes, in the heart of Chorlton.
Teaching naturally became the next step in my journey. There is something truly magical about demystifying an art form that often feels intimidating to people. I love watching students walk in feeling unsure, only to leave hours later carrying a beautifully finished, professional-grade creation and a newfound confidence in their abilities.
With nearly 20 years of hands-on experience under my belt, I’ve had the privilege of hosting hundreds of masterclasses right here in our Chorlton studio. One thing most people don't realise about sugarcraft and cake design is that it is equal parts art and engineering—it requires precision, patience, and a deep understanding of structural balance, all masked beneath delicious flavours and elegant finishes.
Whether you're picking up a piping bag for the very first time or looking to refine your technique, my goal is always to create a warm, inviting environment where you can learn, create, and master the art of cake design.
