If there's something specific you'd like to learn, just ask. Classes can be customised to focus on one particular skill or combine multiple techniques into a comprehensive session.

Our private classes have become particularly popular for date nights, anniversaries, birthdays, and team-building events. Whether you're looking to strengthen workplace connections, celebrate a special occasion, or simply try something different, we'll tailor the experience to suit your group.

Private classes are available from 4:30pm onwards, with a minimum booking duration of 2 hours.

Pricing starts from $300 for the first hour, with additional hours charged at $200 per hour thereafter. This hourly rate covers exclusive use of the shop, equipment, tools, and personalised tuition.

Please note that the base cost of any cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or other items being made during the class is additional and will vary depending on the project selected. Dietary baking, premium ingredients, and specialised class requirements may also incur additional charges. Any applicable ingredient or material costs will be discussed and confirmed prior to the class commencing and are payable on the day of the class.

As a guide, most decorating-focused classes take around 2–3 hours, while more comprehensive sessions involving baking, fillings, buttercream preparation, and decorating from start to finish may require 3–5 hours. The duration will ultimately depend on the project selected, the techniques being covered, and your desired learning outcomes.

Get in touch with what you'd like to learn, and we'll put together a class designed specifically for you.
