NEW! Junior Jelly-Cat Inspired Cake Workshop

Suitable for beginners and intermediate level

2.30pm-4.30pm (this is a new class, so please allow some flexibility in timings)

Based on our luxury ombré  cake class, and taking inspiration from everyone's favourite cuddly toys, Liz has put together a fun Jelly Cat cake workshop - and this session is for our Junior bakers.

Liz, who bakes and hand-decorates all of our cakes and cupcakes, will let you into her baking secrets and you get to take home a wonderful themed cake.

What to expect:

• You'll be provided with all the equipment to make a Jelly Cat-inspired striped buttercream cake
• You will be given a Simply Scrumptious crumb-coated sponge ready for you to dress up
• Liz will demonstrate the secrets to making perfectly light and fluffy buttercream icing every time
• Learn to colour and pipe buttercream - creating vibrant tones in several shades
• Perfect smoothing the surface of your cake to make a beautiful striped effect
• Top your cake with piped details and matching sprinkles
• Create the classic candle, cute little legs and feet, not forgetting the cheeky grin

Tea, coffee and delicious home-baked treats will be provided  

You can drop your young person off, but I would recommend you stay for any nervous bakers, or under 10's who've not been before. Happy to talk this through with you to work out the best option for your child.

◦Our classes are intentionally kept small (large cake classes are 4 maximum) to give you plenty of space and so that you get full attention from Liz throughout

All ingredients and materials are provided, including a sturdy box to transport your cake home.

ABOUT YOUR TUTOR

I'm Liz and I home bake and hand decorate every one of Simply Scrumptious Cupcakes' delicious organic cakes and cupcakes, and have done since 2010!

I offer a huge range of classic and unusual flavour-combinations including Madagascan vanilla, black bottom and red velvet. I even create cupcakes using foraged ingredients such as meadowsweet and elderflower.

I only ever use local free range eggs and choose to use organic, local, British and Fairtrade ingredients wherever possible. 

I have been running cupcake decorating classes in Eccleshall since February 2012. These small classes provide a lovely fun and relaxed atmosphere where you will learn to create beautiful sugarpaste models and fabulous piping techniques to make your cakes stand out at home.

I trained as a secondary school teacher, have a full DBS and kids of my own, so am used to younger bakers!

I have also written a cupcake recipe book : Simply Scrumptious Cupcakes by Liz Berwick, available from Amazon, online with your booking, or at my classes .

I can also provide a quote for private baking and decorating classes and decorating parties on request.These cost £199 for a class for 1 person or £250 for 2, with a 20% discount for mid-week workshops. For this I provide 3.5-4 hour tuition, all  recipes, equipment and ingredients are included in the price.

Dietary requirements can be catered for- just drop me a message after booking. For serious allergies, please be aware that all allergens are present in the Simply Scrumptious kitchen.
