Parent and child cupcakes
Upcoming Start Dates
Designed for children to enjoy a cake decorating experience with help from Mum (or Dad, Granny etc) under the guidance of one of our expert tutors.
We’ll bake each child a batch of cupcakes and provide all the icings and equipment. We will show you step by step how to transform your cupcakes into a range of themed edible delights. The children will use professional cake decorating modelling tools and there is plenty of scope for older/ more able children to do more whilst ensuring the younger ones create delightful cupcakes too.
We provide everything you need – just bring an apron. The perfect holiday activity, have 1.5 hours of creative fun and then take your cupcakes home to enjoy with the rest of the family. (we suggest aged 6+ but we leave it up to parents to decide if their child(ren) would enjoy the session)
The price is for one adult helper and one child participant - if the grown - up would like to join in, or you have additional children - you can book additional places separately at a cost of £19.95 each.
