In case you missed anything


CakeFlix Master Programme can be purchased as one complete Programme package at £660. CakeFlix members can pay the £660 up over 24 equal payments of £27.50.

The Programme is made up of 8 Modules. Each Module costs £125. All 8 Modules must be completed for the learner to be entitled to receive the CakeFlix Master Programme certificate.

Prices are inclusive of VAT.

Payment can be made in sterling, US$, AUS$, CAD$, INR or Euros.


The CakeFlix Master programme is an accredited learning Programme, designed to meet an industry requirement for recognised and accredited training, which did not previously exist. The programmes have been externally validated to ensure that the learning and assessment is appropriate and meets UK Awarding Organisation expectations.

Through the external validation process, it has been agreed that the programme is of a similar expectation and standard to a Level 3 qualification or an ‘A level’ in academic terms (England). We are working hard to make these the industry standard for all cake decorators.


You have direct access to the tutor or assessor 365 days a year. Just use the support option on the CakeFlix website. If you are asked to resubmit an assignment, you will be given clear guidance as to the areas that need to be improved and how to improve them.

You are also invited to the CakeFlix Master private Facebook Group where you can share your journey with fellow learners.



A learner has three years from the date of purchasing the programme, or first module, to having their final assignment passed by an assessor. An assessor will mark the assignment within 10 days, but it is incumbent upon the learner to ensure that a pass is achieved within the timescales.

Each lesson has a multiple choice quiz of 4-8 questions. 85% is required to pass this part of the assessment.

Most lessons have a practical assignment to complete.  This will have been something demonstrated on the training video and described in the supporting notes. Each assignment has an image of the practical work that you need to submit. This can be done by uploading images to your learner account. Each assignment has a covering brief, describing the key areas that the assessor will be focusing on.
Each assignment receives feedback from a qualified assessor.

Yes. You will be able to re-set the quiz yourself and try again. If your assignment does not pass, the assessor will provide feedback and invite re-submission (see the note below under Training Material for further details).  There is no limit to the number of re-submissions, but the 3 year completion timescale still applies.

CakeFlix Master has 8 Modules of learning. Each Module is taught to specified standards as set out by the training manager.
 
While some of the content within the Modules will have been taught in some of the 1,500+ tutorials we have on CakeFlix, those taught on the CakeFlix Master Programme (A Level Standard) have been filmed and taught in an educational manner specifically for the Programme.  
 
If you are looking to replicate a Teddy Bear for example, then you will find a number of tutorials on CakeFlix to meet that objective. However, if you want to learn to create the Teddy Bear and have it assessed by a qualified assessor to a pre-defined standard, then CakeFlix Master is the better option.
Every single assignment submitted on the CakeFlix Master Programme is assessed with feedback provided. This allows ongoing learning and development and on successful completion of all modules you will be awarded the CakeFlix Master certificate.
 
In summary; if you are looking simply to replicate a design then the Premium or Pro membership plan would be better for you, but if you are looking for an accredited certificate in Cake Decorating (currently the only one in the world) then CakeFlix Master is the Programme for you so stay on this page.

You can enrol onto the CakeFlix Master Programme at any age.

This is a great course to encourage you to make the best of your skills and learn plenty more. Paul delivers the course in relaxed easy to follow steps and with regular feedback, it was like having him in the kitchen. The course is well laid out, easy to follow and, although challenging at times, the sense of achievement is immense.
