Cake & Cupcake Decorating Classes
These classes are for the beginner cake or cupcake decorator, the person who is just curious about cake decorating or the person who wants to have a fun time learning a new skill!
If you have limited experience working with buttercream or if you’re trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you!
Each cake class features a unique cake design created just for that class using a 6″ vanilla cake.
The cupcake classes will show you how to use one piping tip to create a variety of designs which we will then transfer onto a 6-pack of vanilla cupcakes.
Everything you need will be provided for you including the cake or cupcakes, buttercream, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creation home in – we just need YOU!
FAQ
Does every attendee need a ticket?
Every person participating in the class in any way is required to have a ticket. Parents are welcome to stay and watch during the kids classes, but will need to observe from a distance and not be at the table with their child.
What will I be doing in the class?
Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cake or cupcake storage tips, decorating techniques and you will be decorating your very own cake or set of cupcakes that you will take home with you that day.
Do I need to know how to bake?
Nope! Cakes/cupcakes will always be pre-made for you.
What will we learn in a cake decorating class?
You’ll learn different decorating techniques depending on the design of the cake. We will also discuss the best way to store your cakes afterward.
What will we learn in a cupcake decorating class?
You’ll learn several different ways of using the same piping tip. We will then apply those skills to a 6-pack of cupcakes and finish off the decorating with some colourful sprinkles.
What do I need to bring?
Nothing! Everything will be provided for you. All you need to do is join us and have fun! Are you a messy decorator? You can bring your own apron or just wear easy-to-wash clothing. If attending an adult class, you are always welcome to BYOB.
What age is best for the kids classes?
The cake classes are great for any age; however, I do suggest they be at least 5 years old. For cupcake classes, I recommend children be at least 8 years old unless it’s a parent/child class and you will be with them. Your kiddo must be able to hold a piping bag themselves and use different decorating tools.
What will I bring home?
By the end of the class, you will have created a beautiful 6″ cake or set of six cupcakes. And of course, you’ll have new skills, memories, and fun!
Can I sign up as an individual or as a group?
You can sign up either as an individual, with a friend, or with a whole group. The more the merrier! Each class will have a limited number of seats, so definitely sign up ASAP!
Where are the classes located?
The location of the classes can vary depending on the class size. Please see the class description for location information.
I signed up for a class but can’t make it?
🙁 We understand that life happens so that’s why we allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the date of the class. You can always transfer your spot to a friend though (and what a nice friend you are). Any cancelation after the 7 days, will be a class credit redeemable for up to 1 year from the credit issue date.
Do you do private parties or birthday parties?
Yes! I do birthday parties, office parties, staff team-building classes, bachelorettes, and more. Please email me at hello@ashleyssweetsandtreats.ca with the details of your event including date, location and whether you are looking for a cake or cupcake class and I would be happy to discuss the details with you. Please note, that I only do the party/class itself, I do not provide or arrange the location of the party/class.
