Had an awesome time

My daughter and her friend (14yrs) came along to the class on Thursday and really had an awesome time.
They gained knowledge and learned new techniques which they told me all about.
The girls said they were secretly worried it would be boring but it definitely wasn’t. The time went fast they said and it was super creative.
They were happy to be attending with children of the same age or very similar, that was a real win.

The girls talked about doing a mother daughter type class if it was available or a class to learn how to make/ decorate a birthday cake.

Thank you for offering this class over the holidays and hopefully it was successful for your team.

Box of space!

Box was tall and spacey. Meant I could have the cake topper and not stress about the fit!

Awesome cupcake decorating class

My daughter(13) and son (11) had a great time with the cupcake decoration class. They both enjoyed learning how to pipe buttercream, mould with fondant, decorate with sprinkles and glitter. Greatest of all - they got to bring their creations home to eat. Thanks to the awesome team at Cupcakesweeties for catering for their needs too (gluten free). Kids had fun and enjoyed every moment of this experience. Thanks again. Highly recommended😃
