One thing I absolutely loved from this recent 1:1 buttercream class was seeing just how quickly confidence can grow.
Before the class, this lady had never smoothed buttercream on a cake before, but within an hour she had achieved beautifully smooth sides and sharp edges completely independently.
Once she’d mastered that technique, we moved on to piping skills and experimenting with different nozzles and finishes. At that point, I encouraged her to have complete creative freedom with the decorating.
I think it’s such a lovely example of how much can be learnt in just one session, especially when someone is willing to have a go and trust the process.
