No you don’t need any new fancy equipment. This program is aimed at competent cake makers, so it would be using whatever equipment you already have. You may need to buy some new supplies such as acetate sheets for transfer sheets (can also use baking paper). Whatever supplies we use in the lesson, such as colourings or acetate sheets, we include purchase links and discount codes for them in the lesson.

We don’t provide a buttercream recipe. If you’re at the Creative-active phase, you would already have an established buttercream recipe that you use. I use our DTC buttercream for the classes that I teach, but you can use swiss meringue, italian meringue buttercream.

We don’t provide cake recipes. If you’re after baking lessons, you should check out our course, The Versatile Baker. As mentioned, buttercream recipes and cake recipes should be part of your foundation building phase. These are the building blocks you should already have established. If you haven’t yet, that’s totally ok. But I recommend checking out our foundation building courses such as Buttercream Cake Mastery and The Versatile Baker. 

The lessons are pre-recorded, with either on screen texts or closed captions. You can take the classes in your own time, and at whichever pace suits you. The student community and support is in real time though.

Yes, there are captions, on screen texts as well as written materials. I’ve covered all grounds to ensure that you get the best out of the learning experience regardless of your learning style.

This really depends on what your goals are. Just because it’s a hobby, doesn’t mean that it’s less important. I think most of us are used to thinking, if I invest a certain amount of money, I want a certain amount of money back. So naturally, if you don’t sell cakes, you can’t see a return on investment. 

But, return for investment doesn’t always have to be monetary. Why do you make cakes as a hobby? To destress? To express yourself? To explore your creativity? 

Whether you can justify the cost or not depends on the value you put on the outcome of making cakes as a hobby. 

This program is perfect if:

• You are time poor.
• You can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars at a time for an online course. 
• You want break out of the stagnation of a creative block and reach your creative potential.
