I really enjoyed today's course, Swiss meringue buttercream on the wave cake in ombre design was taught very well, lots of info etc and explanations about how to make the SMB.

Fabulous day with lots of useful content. Annabelle is superb - you can never ask too many questions or get covered in too much buttercream, she never minds. Thank you for a lovely day.

This was such a good course and helped me understand Swiss meringue buttercream (and not be afraid to use it). I booked last minute and I am so glad I came. Annabelle is an amazing tutor - her knowledge is never ending (as is her patience).
