Meet your instructor at a local café or bakery and discover the baking workspace, ingredients, equipment, and the basics of cake making. Learn about flour, sugar, butter or oil, milk, baking powder, and flavorings. Measure the ingredients and understand how each one contributes to the cake's texture and taste.

Prepare the batter under the instructor's guidance. Learn correct mixing techniques, batter consistency, and common mistakes that can affect the finished cake. Prepare the cake tin and learn about oven preheating, temperature control, baking time, and checking doneness.

The instructor may use pre-baked cake layers for the decorating session while your cake bakes and cools. Learn how to prepare or handle frosting, spread cream smoothly, use piping bags and nozzles, and create borders, swirls, and simple decorative patterns.

Present your finished creation, take photographs, enjoy a cake tasting if included, and receive tips for recreating the recipe at home.
