Squires Kitchen School

Learning to create sugar flowers using SFP (sugar flower paste) forms the centrepiece of the offering at Forever Cake Creations, a cake school based in Medstead, Hampshire, where students can master roses, peonies, orchids, cosmos and anemones in a comprehensive six-hour session. The school, run by instructors Sally and Vanessa, combines cake decorating expertise with baking fundamentals across six core disciplines.

The curriculum spans from technical precision to creative expression. Beginners can tackle the French method for macarons, learning to fill their creations with pastes and dusts, while the piping techniques class teaches students to create various designs on cupcakes using different piping tips. Those seeking foundational skills can master straight-edged cakes, learning to use ganache plates and work with flexi ice for decoration, with the finished cake ready to take home.

Baking enthusiasts will appreciate the techniques class, which focuses on adjusting recipes to create perfect results using premium ingredients. Students bake four different sponges including red velvet, carrot cake and Victoria sponge, taking all their creations home. The comprehensive four-day Wedding Cake Masterclass provides intensive hands-on training, culminating in students receiving a polished acrylic spacer or the option to upgrade to an acrylic birdcage design.

Classes accommodate various dietary requirements, with gluten-free options available on request, and the school offers gift vouchers alongside private hire facilities. The warm, friendly atmosphere that Sally and Vanessa cultivate suits bakers at all skill levels, from those taking their first steps in cake decorating to more experienced bakers seeking to refine their techniques.
