If you're a cupcake lover who lives near Birmingham, you're in for a treat! You can spend a half day learning how to decorate cupcakes like a pro. With different themes and levels, there's a workshop that caters to every cupcake fan's interests and skill level. Jane, a former BBC MasterChef finalist and Further Education chef tutor will be your host for these cupcake classes at Tara House Bakery. She started her own bakery and cake-making business after appearing on the show and has many years of experience under her belt. Her decorated cupcakes are nothing short of brilliant, and she will show you how she does it! The classes take place in Jane's beautiful cottage, which is hidden away between Redditch and Birmingham. You'll be working in the light and airy conservatory, where you'll set about creating incredible decorations for your cupcakes. Using clever design and piping techniques, you'll be able to create a mini-masterpiece with every little cake. Each participant will decorate six cupcakes, and the final touch will be adding gift packaging for that extra professional flourish to finish your workshop.
