Class Details

Join us for our FIRST EVER Masterclass: Cake Pop 101!

You asked, so we answered! In our very first weekly course offering, this class will last 3-4 sessions. We’ll go in depth to show you cake pops, like never before, both baking and decorating. If you’ve come to a cake pop decorating class before, you know that we do the hard work for you- making the cake pops and melting the candy melts. For the first time ever, I am going to share with you how I’ve perfected cake pops in the past 14 years! Each week will focus on a specific aspect of cake popping, while also creating a product to bring home each week. After 3 classes, an optional 4th evening is available for practicing, asking extra questions, and having more 1:1 attention. Bring your own pre-rolled pops, cakes and buttercream to make your own pops, use our tools, colors, and guidance to polish your technique. 

This course will be perfect for hobby bakers ready to take their skills to the next level, aspiring small business owners, and seasonal creatives. Attendance will be capped at 8 people, for more individual attention.
