Location: Brighton, East Sussex
Description
This is the most often demanded cake class by our students – an intensive modern wedding cake course. During this cake decorating class, you will work on one three-tiered wedding cake and one show-stopping extended tier wedding cake. You will work with both real cakes and dummies to create your masterpieces. Throughout the class, you will be supported in practising key techniques and your teacher will be able to pinpoint exactly which skills you need to work more on. This is by far the best way of learning and avoiding developing bad habits in cake decorating which waste your time, effort and materials.
Class runs from 10.30am – 5pm.
This class is suitable for intermediate level students.
You will learn:
- How to work with dummy cakes (learn why this is an essential skill) – cover dummies with fondant and practice those sharp edges
- How to cover a hexagon cake with ganache and cover it with fondant (working on real cakes)
- How to carve, fill and cover an extended tier round cake with chocolate ganache and fondant, perfect for modern weddings
- How to achieve straight and smooth edges with fondant – this is the latest trend that is an essential skill for all cake decorators
- How to effectively add gold lustre on fondant and use royal icing stencils onto your cake
- How to make a wreath of sugar flowers to include roses, foliage and berries
- How to use simple cut out flowers and decorating techniques to make a cake stand out
- Add the extra oomph to your cake with some stunning royal icing stencil to your cake
- How to stack, dowel and secure your wedding cakes for easy transport and delivery
- How to fix any common cake mistakes (after all, you might not have the time to bake and decorate an entirely new cake on a Friday night!)
You will go home with:
- One three-tiered cake and one extended tier cake
- New skills and confidence in working with royal icing when used with stencils
- New sugar flower making skills
- Skills (and lots of practice) in covering cakes with sharp fondant edges

The class was really interesting, I felt like I learnt so much and have so many new skills to take away and develop. I am a complete beginner and can’t believe I’ve learnt to decorate a cake so beautifully! Uma was so knowledgeable, really explained things thoroughly and with patience and was also so lovely to chat to throughout the day. I would highly recommend the course to anybody, it was so much fun! Thank you again Uma - I can’t wait to have a slice of the cake I made with a cup of tea in my new Fair Cake mug! 💜Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchased this lovely scented candle at a Christmas market. It smells just like a candy cane, and burns with a nice warm glow. I can highly recommend these candles from Fair Cake.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing day with Uma on the buttercream flowers course! I usually only work with sugarpaste covered cakes, so this was all brand new to me and I learned so much during the day. I was really pleased with the end result and that is entirely down to Uma's excellent teaching. She was patient, encouraging and super helpful throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. I left keen to keep practicing at home and Uma made sure I had all the info I needed to get started. The class was held in a lovely venue, perfectly kitted out and very relaxing to work in. It's also very central within Brighton, making it very convenient and a great location to visit. I would highly recommend and am already looking at what course I can do next!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spent the day with Uma, learning how to make buttercream flowers. I've learnt loads and had such a lovely day. She was very attentive, happy to answer any questions.

I took the modern wedding cake course and it was absolutely incredible. Learned a lot and definitely feel more prepared when it comes to decorating cakes! Our instructor, Uma, had a very bad injury, and she still gave it her 200% and managed to work through the pain just to share her knowledge! Another plus, Brighton is such a delightful place to visit! Recommend 100%Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't have picked a better Christmas gift for my lovely wife than this cake decorating course. Despite being a total beginner, she dove right in and had an absolute blast. The instructor was fantastic, guiding her every step of the way as she created a stunning cake adorned with beautiful flowers. Seeing her excitement and pride in her creation was priceless 😊 She's already talking about signing up for another day course, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Uma!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attending the ‘Buttercream Flowers’ cake decorating course was an absolute delight! Uma is a wonderfully lovely lady, brought not just her expertise but also patience and thoroughness to the session. Her approach to teaching is both inspiring and encouraging, making complex techniques seem achievable for decorators at any level. What stood out to me was the depth of knowledge shared throughout the course. The hands-on session was incredibly valuable, offering us ample opportunity to refine our skills under her attentive guidance. The course was structured in a way that built our confidence step by step. Starting from the basics, we gradually moved to more intricate designs, learning not just how to create beautiful flowers but also how to arrange them artistically on cakes. By the end of the course, I was amazed at how much I had learned. I left feeling equipped with the skills and confidence to create stunning buttercream flowers on my own. This course is a must for anyone looking to elevate their cake decorating skills. I cannot recommend it highly enough – an educational and enjoyable experience from start to finish! Thank you very muchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just finished up the 5 module online class and really enjoyed it! I am just getting into cake decorating, but found the course to be very helpful and easy to understand. Beyond the beautiful cakes and frostings, there are so many little tips and tricks to help with consistent results, which is what we're all trying to achieve. I am in the US, so there are differences in some of our ingredients, but I just googled substitutions. I hope to attend a class in person, because Uma and her team were a delight to learn from.
