Everyone has to start somewhere, so why not begin your cake decorating hobby – or career – with us! Cake Tinz n’ Thingz specialises in classes and workshops to suit everyone, from beginners to professionals and everyone in between.
While we endeavour to keep the costs of tuition to an affordable minimum, please be aware that there will be additional costs involved for tools and equipment. Your own equipment is essential for you to practice and perfect your cake decorating skills, and will be necessary for decorating cakes at home. It is not practical for students to share equipment.
Cake Tinz n’ Thingz holds beginners, intermediate and advanced classes which run in conjunction with school terms and are held in our School of Cake Decorating next door to our shop. If you are not sure which class will be most appropriate for your skill level, we will be happy to advise you. Visit the Class Schedule page to see what we have on offer this term.
Our teachers are experienced cake decorators who have won many prizes and awards for their skills. Class sizes are a maximum of 15 people, enabling us to provide more individual attention. Full payment is required to secure your place in a class.
Due to unprecedented recent demand, our classes fill extremely quickly each term. The number of students and classes we can offer is limited by the availability of teaching staff and classrooms (and days of the week!). If you are interested in classes for the coming term, please call us on 9345 1869 to ask for more information (we much prefer a phone call to an email).
Please note that while we will do our very best to accommodate you in the class that suits your skill level and day/time preference, we cannot guarantee a place in the class you want.
Workshops at Cake Tinz n’ Thingz are held throughout the year. Your workshop fee includes some materials and morning tea. Due to their popularity, numbers are strictly limited, so book early. Look at our Workshop Schedule page to find out when our next workshop will be.
