Testimonials
After attending your class, I can happily say it was MORE than worth it! Dare I say, it was a bargain!!
Lori Chivers
As a relatively new baker, with a VERY small business, I was reluctant to invest in a cake decorating class at this time, although I SO wanted to do it. My husband insisted that I make the sacrifice for myself and our business. I have used every skill that you shared as part of the class and even walked away with numerous tidbits of your baking wisdom unrelated to the workshop. I can not wait to attend another of your classes and can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and techniques!
What a comprehensive class!
Natasha Gaskill
Minette takes you through construction, pricing, all the way to optimization of your marketing strategies. Her breadth of knowledge about the wedding industry coupled with her hands-on approach to teaching make it not only a pleasure to take a class from her, but almost a necessity.
It was a pleasure and honor learning from one of the best in the cake business! The experience was perfect!
Bonnie Mann
Minette has a beautiful way about her. I felt supported and comforted and not the least bit intimidated. This allowed me to concentrate and get the most out of the class. In order to grow as a cake decorator, I needed to like refine some of my skills. Going forward, my wedding cakes will look more polished and taste more delectable. I gained knowledge and expertise, but most of all the confidence I needed to take my wedding cake business to the next level. When I arrived back home with my beautiful cake, my family was in awe. I left feeling inspired, encouraged, and motivated to get home and "wow" Jacksonville with my new talent!
If you are thinking about taking this class, don't hesitate. Minette is the best teacher!
You will have a blast and learn a ton. Do it!
