Three-hour sessions from £140 help both beginners and intermediate bakers master techniques like chocolate tempering and professional piping at Sally's Baking Classes in London. Located in a custom studio above Crumbs & Doilies bakery, the school specialises in cake decorating, chocolate work, and macaron making across workshops that range from focused skills sessions to comprehensive multi-day courses.

The class programme covers fundamental through to advanced techniques. The Macaron Masterclass teaches students to create smooth, shiny shells with perfect "feet" alongside ganache and buttercream fillings, with each participant taking home 24 macarons. The four-hour Cake Decorating Class focuses on professional finishing techniques including levelling sponges, crumb coating, and buttercream top coating in students' chosen colours, plus drip decoration methods. More experienced bakers can join the six-hour Vintage Cake Decorating & Piping Class, where Swiss meringue buttercream is used to achieve sharp corners and smooth edges before applying intricate piped designs.

For chocolate enthusiasts, the seven-hour Ultimate Chocolate Cake class covers the complete process from baking chocolate sponges through to tempering chocolate for decorations and creating cake truffles. The most comprehensive offering is the two-day, two-tier cake course, limited to seven students, which teaches both chocolate and raspberry ripple cake baking, American and Swiss meringue buttercream preparation, and professional stacking techniques using pillars and dowels.

All decorating classes provide pre-baked sponges and materials, with students taking home full-sized cakes serving 12-14 people, complete recipes, and equipment lists. The school accommodates corporate groups, children's parties, and offers gift vouchers alongside online courses for flexible learning.
