The Real Experience
No online demos or shortcuts here. You’ll handle all the tools and ingredients yourself. I’m with you the whole way, showing, correcting, and laughing with you. Only a few seats each time, so you don’t get lost in the crowd. If you want to actually make something beautiful with your own hands, and not just scroll through pretty pictures, this might be your thing.

I just want to make things sweeter, one cake at a time.
