  • 5/5 from Jessica Everson, attended Apr 2026: Ruth was a lovely teacher and host who was very welcoming and generous with her time. I've never piped buttercream before and was pleasantly surprised to have some presentable cupcakes at the end of the class - testament to Ruth's teaching abilities! It was great fun, even as a solo attendee. The only suggestion I have is to maybe include some direction or signposting to find the venue as it didn't come up on Google maps.
  • 5/5 from Kate Aston, attended Mar 2026: This class was just what I needed as a novice decorator ! Ruth was fabulous ; clear instructions and incredibly patient ! So very happy with the progress I made today . I can not recommend this enough ! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Namalee Weerasekara, attended Mar 2026: I love baking, but not great at decorating with icing. I attended this with a friend who also loves to bake – we both loved it! Ruth was an attentive teacher and taught us useful skills and tips for working with royal icing, buttercream, piping bags and nozzles. She had all the kit and made learning icing skills fun and easy. The rest of the group was great too – everyone was so into it! Ruth has inspired me to get more creative and adventurous when icing my cupcakes and cakes in the future. We also learned how to decorate cookies with some pattern-making techniques – this is a whole new skill for me. I can't wait to practice my new icing skills on my next bake!! I highly recommend this class with Ruth.
  • 5/5 from Dafne, attended Mar 2026: Ruth was amazing! I learned so much! She was very helpful, and took al the time I needed to learn other techniques
  • 5/5 from Naashida Abbey-Johnson, attended Feb 2026: We attended this class with a group of individuals with learning disabilities. The teacher was patient, kind and motivating. Everyone had a good time. I will definitely recommend!!
  • 4/5 from Emma D, attended Feb 2026: We had a great time learning the different decorating techniques for cookies and cupcakes. Ruth was so lovely, warm and welcoming. We would have loved the class to have been longer to learn more things as the time flew by! Such a lovely end to the session when you get to take the yummy treats home!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Salter, attended Jan 2026: Another amazing class with Ruth! Had the best time again and took home a few more skills :) Thank you to Ruth for hosting a great class
  • 5/5 from Crystal Graham, attended Jan 2026: Excellent time… I can not brag about this class enough.. I will be back, this was my first time ever decorating cupcakes and cookies.. I was very impressed and I just can’t brag enough.
  • 3/5 from Milly Reece-Jones, attended Jan 2026: The cupcake class was good, and I did have a fun time, although I would say I was expecting more. The venue was a basic, classroom type environment in a youth club, wasn't the calming cupcake making space perhaps I thought we would have. Basic improvements such as table cloths, some music, place cards or other details could have made this venue more appropriate and welcoming for the activity. The teacher was a lovely woman and clearly very talented at cake decoration. However, she didn't lead with a demonstration and then for us all to follow, the instructions were difficult to follow and it felt as though we were teaching ourselves some of the time. Some participants didn't even have enough resources and materials for the class. I think I would've preferred a more informative class with more direction on how to use the utensils and properly decorate the cakes. There were also small hairs in the icing (I am blonde). I felt as though I could've bought the nozzles, printing off the templates and watched a youtube video. As I first said, the class was fun, the women in the class were nice but I think for £30 per person in Central London, I did expect a lot more from the class and I would be hesitant to book a ClassBento class again. I think I would prefer to pay more and go for a smaller, independent business.
  • 5/5 from Rebekah, attended Dec 2025: Thank you, Ruth for a wonderful and fun cookies and cupcake decorating class. You went above and beyond to make all students feel welcome. The class was full of creativity, fun and laughter. Thank you for all the takeaway goodies.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Salter, attended Dec 2025: I had the best time at this class. Ruth was a great teacher, I have come away with tips and tricks I would definitely use again.
  • 5/5 from Marta Wojtowicz, attended Dec 2025: I had such a wonderful time at the cupcake and biscuits decorating class! The instructor was friendly, patient, and made everything easy to understand, even for beginners. The class was well organized and had a great balance of guidance and creative freedom. There were plenty of tools and colors to work with. It was a fun, relaxing experience and I left with new skills, beautiful cupcakes, and a big smile. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a sweet and enjoyable activity!
