## About Cake Decorating Workshops & Classes

### Why My Workshops Are Different

I’m all about helping you actually do the work, not just watch. With years of teaching and a spot among India’s top bakers (Top 10 in 2019), I’ve taught over 1000 students. I stick to small, in-person workshops in Mumbai so you get proper, real-time feedback and personal attention.

### What You’ll Learn

- Colored ganache cake workshop with a focus on creating smooth finishes and bold colors, without fondant
- Hands-on cake decorating class where you’ll actually mix, decorate and finish your own two-tier cake
- My tricks for razor-sharp edges, stenciling, and gold detailing
- How to make and use edible sequins, plus structure a multi-tiered cake so it stands tall and safe
- Sugar flower crafting course covering peonies, ranunculus, and more for a pro-level wedding cake look

### 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.
