Really enjoyed the class. Victoria was a fabulous teacher who explained things simply and also gave us advice how to rectify any mistakes. All the ingredients were set out for us at our workstations and our dirty dishes and utensils were cleaned up by the two wonderful girls on the team. The day just flew by and I learnt so much! And best of all, I got to take so much cake home with me Would definitely recommend and book again.
