The tutor was excellent, she was patient and gave us lots of tips and not always referring to this course. Her knowledge of baking, icing, buttercream, frosting is amazing and knows the answers to every question I have heard people ask. This course was exactly what it said when advertising the course and perfect. I recommend the Cake Club too - there are so many benefits to joining including a free gift when you join.
