  • Gravity Defying Purse Cake

    Good small group. Great class for those who want to learn how to pipe flowers and improve on some border work. Lisa was very patient and informative. She provides all you need for the class, you don’t need to bring any supplies from home at all.
  • Gravity Defying Purse Cake

    Dani was a very kind and fun instructor with clear guidance. I learned helpful techniques from her. I only wished we would have worked with real Buttercream since the ready-mix cream was very sticky to work with to get a smooth surface on the cake. It had a consistency like melted Marshmallows. Even in the fridge, it wouldn't get hard like Buttercream. But overall I enjoyed the class very much! Thanks, Dani! ;-)
  • Gravity Defying Purse Cake

    This class was definitely more challenging than Course 1. Dani was a great instructor and very encouraging.
