Cake Decorating Workshops and Macaron Classes
We invite you to join us in our Kent kitchen for a gentle, inspiring series of cake decorating workshops and macaron classes as we guide you through the magic of macarons and share some of our top cake decorating secrets.
No experience is required, we’re as thrilled to welcome enthusiastic new bakers as we are those with a lifelong passion for patisseries.
We’ll provide all tools and equipment you’ll need, as well as refreshments. We encourage you to be hands on, ask questions and make the most of your time at Bluebell Kitchen. We promise you’ll leave with a host of new skills, a box of delicious creations and a desire to push boundaries in your own baking.
“Thank you again for my wonderful day with you. You both are really great teachers and lovely people and I am so happy and lucky to have met you.” – Wendy. Private 1:1 Class
