A day in the Diploma in Cake Design

From 9 am sponge baking to an afternoon of sugar flowers — what a class day at BakeZone looks like.

Every Saturday our Diploma students arrive at 8.45 am, aprons on and notebooks ready.

9.00 am — Demonstration. Miss Nasrin demonstrates the day's technique — this week, stacking a two-tier cake with dowels.

10.00 am — Hands-on. Students work in pairs at their own stations with all ingredients and equipment provided.

12.30 pm — Lunch & critique. We look at everyone's work together. Feedback is kind, specific and practical.

1.30 pm — Decoration. Sugar flowers, piping or fondant work, depending on the module.

3.30 pm — Photography & packaging. Every bake is photographed for the student's portfolio and boxed to take home.

New intakes start every few months — see upcoming dates on our class calendar.
