Wowcher missold this course
This course is not what wowcher said it is can find all this out on Google crap course
No decorating
Was disappointed with this course as it was really about various cake and icing recipes and no decorating techniques or tips at all. Glad I didn’t pay the full price for this as most of the recipes And tips could have been found online or YouTube.
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.
