Amazing cake school. I first went to Penningtons cake school just over a year ago. I knew next to nothing about cake decorating and lacked confidence in the beginning. With Dawn and Kerry’s fantastic step by step teaching I’ve really learned so much and I can now see improvement. It all started with a modelling cake class, then straight edges and ganache covering, followed by royal icing classes, and a couple of sugar flower classes. My favourite has to be Royal icing swiftly followed by the sugar flowers. In fact I’m already booked on 2 courses for the next school year in September, I can’t wait and will really miss the fab people I’ve met over the course of the year. Things to take to class? An apron, a smile and plenty of enthusiasm for fun while you learn.
