you to perhaps try techniques that you’ve never attempted before and the end result is stunning!!” – Rachael Smith
5* – “I would definitely recommend the course, I have enjoyed every step of the way and cant wait to start the next level.” – Vicky Bressington
5* – “First class easy to follow lessons to introduce the student to royal icing. With the knowledge of these basic techniques it opens the way to be a game changer for any aspiring cake decorator. It was a joy to learn a traditional method of icing; a tradition that needs to be kept alive. I will defiantly be looking to build on my learning of this beautiful art. I Highly recommend this module to all.” – Kevin Marshall
5* – “I have been putting marzipan on Christmas cakes for years and I never ever got a nice finish on it until I completed this module! I was even impressed with the Royal icing finish I got on the cake. The two major things I learned were fully expelling the air bubbles and taking my time. So thank you for that!” – Katrina Murphy
5* – “Even though I have home baked for many years, this course will definitely improve your skill level and confidence as mine have grown throughout the course, Regardless of what age you are, you would thoroughly enjoy it too.” – Vicky Bressington
5* – “For any complete novices (which I was) this module takes you from preparing the royal icing, to showing you how to achieve the right consistencies for icing, piping, and creating your own royal icing decorations. I was always very intimidated by royal icing (quite rightly :-)) but after Paul has shown you and walked you through it, it becomes so much easier to work with.” – Julie Walker
5* – “Absolutely amazing module, definitely worth taking and learning new skills along the way. I’ve never made cake pops or used royal icing before and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole module.” – Jacqui Davies
5* – “The cookie part of the module was particularly difficult for me, I have never done it before, so wasn’t surprised when I failed the first submitted assignment, I was actually happy to fail a second time as I think by the third attempt I had started to get a hang of what I was doing, and I am sure with practise I will get better. Thanks for your feedback and support in getting through it.” – Julie Walker
5* – “I enjoyed doing them all royal icing isn’t something I do everyday and like everything else practice makes perfect But the cake pops and cupcake units were great.” – Karen Ash
5* – “I learned a lot in this module especially with the cookies and royal icing. It is a great Module, a lot of fun and Pauls teaching is very clear.” – Ann Hately

5* – “The Cookie module was very challenging and it took a lot of practising. But never give up and you will get the perfect cookie results.” – Evi Carroll
5* – “I learned a lot as I had not ever covered cupcakes in fondant and decorated them with fondant. The greatest majority of my clients always want buttercream, even on cakes. I needed the practice as well with cookies and royal icing. Cake pops are always dreaded, mostly the time involved and no one ever wants to pay what the time is worth. Usually I offer them in cute little cupcake liners, more as truffles if the are for adults. Way faster to make, look pretty, and adults seem to like the idea.” – Mellonie Patcheak
5* – “Make sure you have everything ready first, It’s quite a quick module.” – Tiffany Perry

“I did this course to get me to focus on if I wanted to revamp and continue my cake business or not. Because of illness for over a year and then the pandemic, my business is at rock bottom. It took me to the last class to realise this is really what I want to do. So now I am going over everything again in more detail, new name, colours everything so could be a while.
Pricing was my favourite lesson. My family just laughed when I told them about the class. (what have we been telling you for years). My daughter, who wanted to practice her book keeping, helped me go through everything.
The guide with the 3 different prices is the best thing since slice bread.
With everything going on I have had no orders. Two days after the last class, I got 8 orders in the one day, don’t know how that came about. I had my price chart ready, but I felt a bit sick as I pressed send to the first customer. They all came back with positively and some even said, if you need to go up to the next price point that would be ok. It feels so good not to be worrying about my prices anymore. Thank you both so much.” Bernadette Dunne
