Spend a happy day learning how to fill and cover a sponge cake, using jam and buttercream and sugar paste and finish with simple hand made flowers and foliage and decorative piping.

Book your place on this fun and informative sugarcraft class and learn the art of icing and decorating a delicious sponge cake.

This class, to be hosted at the Cake and Sugarcraft Centre in Hedge End, near Southampton, is ideal for beginners and will combine a detailed demonstration and a hands-on workshop, during which each participant will ice and decorate an 8 inch sponge cake.
