Recent reviews of Cake Covering and Decorating Class
- 5/5 from Anne Robbins, attended Aug 2026: A lovely afternoon in Jane's beautiful cottage, learning the skills to decorate a cake using fondant icing. Excellent tuition and good company.
- 5/5 from Samantha Oliver, attended Jun 2026: I really enjoyed this class, it is my second with Jane as I previously did the beginners cupcake class. I found the pace of the class good for both beginners and people with more experience, giving time to really understand the tool options and techniques. I can't wait to try and recreate this on my own.
- 5/5 from Beatrice Rossay Gilson, attended May 2026: A great day learning techniques and lots of tips under Jane’s confident and generous guidance. A most enjoyable day which I strongly recommend: everything is well laid out, the booklet is soo useful and you leave with a most beautiful cake. Thank you to Paul for the cups of coffee and practical assistance. A must try!
- 5/5 from Hollie Carpenter, attended Apr 2026: My mum and I had an amazing day today icing and decorating our cakes! Jane is a wonderful teacher and we got a lot out of the class. A thoroughly enjoyable Sunday!
- 5/5 from Abbie Cheshire, attended Nov 2025: Fab course, very informative and filled me with confidence that I can do it. Jane is a lovely lady and helped me when needed, she gave plenty of advice and I am ready and feel confident enough to have a good at home now! The cake also tastes amazing!! Thank you Jane!
- 5/5 from Lisa Hughes, attended Nov 2025: Fantastic day really enjoyed the lesson Jane is a wealth of knowledge and patience
- 5/5 from Casey A Wills, attended Apr 2025: My daughter did this class and the teacher was absolutely fantastic. Taught her lots of new techniques and the decoration was lovely. Absolutely would recommend.
- 5/5 from Ian Tuddenham, attended Apr 2025: I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Jane was patient and great at instructing us on how to create the perfect cake decoration with fondant icing. From crumb coat to the final touches the step by step guidance was much appreciated. If you want a relaxing, well thought-out class, Tara House Bakery is the place to go.
- 5/5 from Andy Tilley, attended Sep 2024: My wife bought me the course to brush up on my cake covering skills. Jane was fantastic, the class was delivered very well! Jane allowed me to decorate the cake how I wanted (which caused some giggles!). I learnt a lot of helpful tips and tricks. The home made scones for lunch were very tasty! I would definitely recommend Jane to my friends. The finished birthday cake tasted delicious!
- 5/5 from Tina Warwood, attended Feb 2024: I had a cake decorating course brought for my birthday and can honestly say it was a fantastic present. The teacher was simply amazing, she had so much patience in explaining the processes we'd use, gave great tips and answered all questions professionally. Happy to help when needed too. The venue was lovely and clean and great equipment provided. All the equipment was clean, undamaged and easy to use. The class was definitely worth the money and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to cover a cake!
- 5/5 from Julie Kane, attended Nov 2023: Jane was amazing teacher, explained everything very well, I was able to achieve a positive result. Cake looked fab. Had a great day and learnt a lot. Thank you
