This is one of my most asked question. There are so many answers I can give but I do like to keep it simple as possible until we are both absolutely sure you are ready to move on into this business of food.If you are interested in taking cake decorating classes my suggestion is to start small and gradually grow into it.

Personally I think it to wise that you start with the course 1 then graduate to course 2 and so forth. This give you a chance to build a solid base (foundation) of knowledge.
After that you can speak to me about furthering your education in cake decorating.
Classes are easy and fun. You also get a chance to know your neighbors, who are also interested in cake decorating.
The more the merrier: If you are interested in taking these classes have you ever thought about asking our family or friends to join you? I have so many classes with family and friends enjoying my classes together, this make learning more exciting because now you have someone you feel comfortable there with you sharing the same experience.
