Everything was just GREAT! I received a warm welcome to the class from the instructor, she took time out to show me what products were being used and how she was able to get the icing at the consistency needed for the cookies. I learned several new techniques that I had not known. The overall experience was just WONDERFUL. Everyone in the class was very sociable....loved it!

The class was fun and informative but it more for someone that is a beginner. I would of wanted more hands-on individually not in groups. I was looking for something more challenging. I did like the instructor she made the class fun.

Syd was a perfect instructor, I came in with zero baking experience or decorating. She explained every step clearly and helped out with any questions you had. I will definitely be signing up for more of her courses in the future.
Russian Tip Textured Cake
Reviewed by Jenna L. on 7/30/2021
This was my first time taking a baking class and it was awesome! I was worried I was going to be out of my league since I am such a novice. However, I needn’t have been concerned. Syd was patient and helpful. I was visiting from out of town so I had no supplies so Syd brought extra tools for me so I could participate. My cake looked great and I can’t wait to practice my new found cake decorating skills. This was a great class for all skill levels. Can’t wait me to visit LA and come again!
