Recent reviews of Buttercream Cake Decorating Class

  • 5/5 from Stephanie Okafor, attended Feb 2026: Caroline was great and this class was so much fun! Caroline came to my house and delivered the class in such a relaxed and friendly way. It was so well-paced and structured so you just did one step at a time. I cant believe we managed to get such good outputs! The piping detail was fun and it was great to try out different techniques. It was also good to understand how different consistencies of icing make such a difference in various stages of the decoration. I would definitely recommend this class and would absolutely take more classes with Caroline!
  • 5/5 from Sophie Davies, attended Mar 2024: What a great morning I had at the buttercream decorating class. Caroline is so lovely and friendly, she explained everything very clearly and made it easy to follow. With only 3 of us in the class it made it feel more personal and Caroline spent time with each of us making sure we were doing ok. The whole experience was brilliant I would highly recommend this class and Caroline, and I’m looking forward to booking another of her classes. I never thought I’d be able to create something that looked so good
  • 5/5 from Louise Evans, attended Mar 2022: Caroline was the perfect teacher and the perfect host. Her home made treats were amazing and we were made to feel so welcome. Her lovely spacious kitchen was perfect for the class. Caroline answered any questions we had along the way and was so helpful I throughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend to anyone!

Hi, I'm Caroline Bailey, the founder, award winning wedding cake designer and heart and soul behind Hunkington House Kitchen.
My baking love started at an early age, all thanks to my amazing Mum and Nan, who were fantastic in the kitchen, always creating something delicious. Learning from them at an early age sparked a passion that has led me on a long path to where I am now.
This baking journey has been full of excitement from baking with John Whaite, cooking with Monica Galetti, achieving third place in the Great Shropshire Bake Off and also getting through to the final 70 applicants for the Great British Bake Off. Even though I didn’t get selected for the show it gave me the confidence and drive to pursue my dream career in baking.
Having spent years perfecting my baking skills attending classes, creating the most amazing cakes for weddings and other special occasions I have taken my love and passion, helping people to create and bake deliciousness, through fun interactive experiences.
The dream baking experience for me is where people feel at ease, it's interactive and you get to learn in a fun and engaging way. So in a nutshell that's what I deliver.
It is the best job to have when you get to see first hand how proud people are of their creations and their very own baking delights, even the ones who started nervous. My aim is to create a memorable experience for everyone to enjoy and I want my classes to ooze that specialness too.
Yes I'm a little bit obsessed with all the baking delights you can create yourself, so if I can spark memories to treasure, just like the ones I hold dearly then I'm doing it right! Whether it's an experience for a public class, a private group or 1-2-1, the baking fun is waiting to be explored.
