Biscuits by Sarah B

With sessions running from 45 minutes to two hours and prices from £12.50, Biscuits by Sarah B offers royal icing decorating classes across Bournemouth and Poole that come complete with all equipment, pre-mixed coloured icing, and nibbles at evening sessions.

The classes focus entirely on biscuit decorating using royal icing techniques, catering to all ages from five-year-olds upwards. The approach centres on building core skills progressively, starting with outlining and flooding shapes before moving into more intricate wet-on-wet techniques and detailed piping work. Each session provides hands-on practice with professional decorating equipment whilst learning to add decorative details that transform plain biscuits into finished designs.

The Easter-themed "Bunnies, Biscuits & Bits" sessions at Ellie's Farm Shop offer a family-friendly introduction to the craft, teaching fundamental outlining, flooding and piping skills through seasonal designs. Participants take home their decorated Easter biscuits in presentation boxes after the 45-minute session. For more focused learning, the adult evening classes extend to two hours, allowing time to master five bee and flower themed biscuits whilst enjoying cafe refreshments. The "Mindful Mondays" sessions at The HUB Cafe in Poole take a similarly relaxed approach, with Christmas-themed designs providing the canvas for practising royal icing techniques in a deliberately calming environment.

All classes include pre-baked biscuits, so the focus remains purely on decorating skills rather than baking fundamentals. The sessions suit anyone looking to learn traditional royal icing techniques in small, supportive groups, though those requiring gluten-free or egg-free options will need to enquire about alternatives.
