My boyfriend arranged for us to take the "naked cake decorating class" on a Saturday evening. I have pretty much no experience in baking, and I found this class perfect for beginners. I could have done with a little more time on the buttercream portion, but Taylor (our instructor) was super clear with all the steps and encouraging throughout the process. PLUS the cake turned out pretty great. It's a pretty plain vanilla base, but a good density with delicious buttercream.
Personally I wouldn't pay $105 for a class like this, but it was still a positive experience. A great date idea :)
P.S. the cakes along the wall are GORGEOUS
