Cake Decoration Online Class Module - 1

 Virtual learning is a practical alternative to classroom training and advance the required skill. In this year, I have taken many-a-baking classes through zoom. When I started online class, I was bit apprehensive about the way I could teach people without a physical presence. However, after seeing the work of students who shares the post-class pictures on Whatsapp group was proof that video classes are becoming a replacement for classroom training. 

Online Class 

Due to demand and request from people, I'm adding classes to our online class collection. This makes it possible for anyone to attend classes from any location. 

Whether you’re a beginner or a home-baker more proficient with the basic icing, this cake decoration is open to those who are interested to learn these decoration techniques and add variety and finesse to cakes.
