Lovely course for beginner cake makers. I’ll definitely recommend this course.
Really enjoy to do this course.
Recommended!!
Easy to understand. Thanks
Easy to follow
Recipes provided here are explained in details.
For the beginners
Good for the beginners. But I expected more topics to be covered.
Great course for a strong foundation
Made my foundation strong. Now I am searching for an advanced course.
Professional course and professional certificate
Planning to buy another course. Coursegate is great!
Cake course
Superb course, so easy to understand so clear and concise.. I have learnt so much and cant wait to get started
Not sure what happends once completed, and I cant find fondant receipies which I understand are available
Also I noticed that once a section is completed, you cant go back and print off the receipes (where they are available)
I have also posted questions as I went along and cant find any replies!
I understand I get a certificate but cant find that!!
But thank you so much for this … its been great!!!
Great starting course for complete beginners
I’m not a complete beginner to cake baking and decorating but found lots of useful information throughout the course. I would have liked to have seen more uses of the frostings and seen the finished result applied to the cakes and some decorating techniques as is implied in the course title. However, it gives good visual representation of what the frostings and cakes should look like at varying stages. This would be a great course for absolute beginners. There are printable recipes included for the cakes but not for the frostings and some measurements are missing from the video. Overall, a good course but would not have paid £175.
Good Course
This is a great course, please bear in mind that the recipes are American so the names of things will be different, i.e. All purpose flour = plain flour in the UK.
It is great for beginners and those wanting a refresher, I found the course via a Wowcher deal which cost £9. I would not have spent £175 on this course as I feel you could find out a lot of this information via YouTube or by just a bit of Googling.
The videos are short and concise, much better than sitting pages of writing or hours of tutorials. The documents are also great to print out and keep.
All in all a great little course.
excellent theoretical course
I found this course really excellent, the teacher was really clear in the explanations. Everything seems easy to do but in reality you can see that the sign has a lot of experience and practicality. The only thing I would recommend is to add the recipes because those who are foreigners like me wrapped do not know all the names of the ingredients so it is difficult to understand … anyway I recommend this course I hope to be able to follow others
cake baking
loved learning all the different aspects to cake decorating and baking.
cant wait to go to the next level.
Cake baking,decorating and frosting training course
Very good course, explained well. Ideal for beginners
I thought it was going to show how to decorate a bit more like sugarpaste flowers etc.
Leo Mason
There is a lot of material in certain classes. The cake decorating and frosting training was a fantastic course with plenty of handouts and video tutorials.
Harley Thompson
Up to this point, everything appears to be excellent.
Niamh Shorf
This is an excellent introduction to cake decoration and frosting. I loved how they discusses different tricks.
Pollard Wiskey
The course quality is great. Though I struggled a bit at the beginning for the login issues, but The course was so satisfying it nullifies that bad experience.
Madeleine Hudson
Excellent quality, budget friendly and a fantastic course. Thank you for offering this one!
AP
I would highly recommend this course, I have learnt so much. I also printed off all the recipes, which are really helpful when baking, making buttercream, fostering and so on. All video were very useful and clear.
Chirs Morgan
It is an informative and extensive course with well-explained modules that you can practice at your own speed. I would highly suggest it.
Isaac Reeves
This course is good. The contents are easy and understandable. I’ll recommend to add some more advanced techniques.
well explained course
This course covers more than i ever thought. Its easy to follow and understand too.
I wanted a refresher, although I’ve decorated cakes for years but I’m self taught.
I’ve learnt things i never knew. so glad i took the course 😉
great
I loved this course i had a great time learning and even though i can bake i got a lot of hits that will improve what i do. I will be looking into more courses in the furture
thank you
Cake Baking and decorating
The course was okay, lots of information and nice PDF bundle to keep at the end.
Examples of how to decorate and use things like gum paste, modelling chocolate etc would have been great.
Cake baking decorating and frosting training
It was ok but video kept pausing. Didn’t always give measurements needed. This is given right at the end of the course which you aren’t told about so I didn’t try to make anything until the end.
Learnt so much
Was really happy with the course, very easy to follow, easy to skip back and forth. Learnt quite a lot of things but my only regret is it is American. I wished I had more of an English theme as it would have made a lot more sense to me. Some of the ingredients, measurements etc were American and hard to understand the difference. Still very informative though. Thanks
Master cake baking the complete introduction
I found this course easy to follow, loads to learn and step by step methods of each section. One thing i found was working out the quantities because it is American based course .
Overall i thoroughly enjoyed the course while in lockdown and now all i have to do is do some baking
Great amount of information
Good course for a beginner with lots of basic information.
Fantastic Course
Was very informative..Every topic was explained clearly, clear instructions were given. The pace was easy to follow. This course has helped me a lot to improve my knowledge of baking, frosting and decorating.
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Daisy Bradley
The frosting methods shown in this course are effective and fun to do. I enjoyed this course a lot.
Very basic easy to follow and informative
Zak Hobbs
I have come across so many decorating techniques and ideas in this course. I would suggest the beginners to take the course for building a solid cake decorating foundation.
