You’ll learn about various cake decorations, and follow step-by-step guides to create a teddy bear and number toppers. The cake decorating course also covers how to make 2D and 3D decorations.

Finally, you’ll be shown how to combine your decorations and finish your cake. You’ll also be guided through other essential information, such as how to take a clear photograph of your creation, how to protect and transport it to a venue, and the food safety considerations, potential allergens and inedible parts of the cake that you should discuss with the recipient.
