Cake Decorating & Candy Making Classes

The following is a list of our classes and demonstrations with a course study for each class. We are fortunate enough to have some of the most experienced teachers in the area who love to share information about the craft.

New to our staff is our gumpaste flower and rolled fondant instructor Becky Hodson, recently relocated to our area from England. She really knows this craft and makes it easy to learn.

Before major holidays we will offer "free" candy making classes on Saturday's at 10:30 a.m. Usually from Halloween thru Easter and always "free"

Please feel free to contact us thru fax or e-mail to speak with a teacher about your interests or decorating problems. Our toll free number is for orders only.
