    When I received this gift from my wonderful friends - I was over the moon. When I arrived I actually felt sick from the excitment!!! Cakes are a very big love of mine and to be taught a few tricks by Eric was amazing! The whole experience was brilliant, Eric and his team were brilliant and the cakes were amazing. Would recommend this experience to anyone who loves cakes!!

    Amazing Experience

    I had an amazing time from start to finish. Great hints and tips from Eric Lanlard which I will continue to use when decorating cakes. The experience lasted much longer than the 1.5 hours!

    Super Indulgent Relaxing Bliss!

    We had a very relaxing creative afternoon making lots of glittery mess and some really impressive cakes! The skill required was pretty basic, I would have liked something a bit more challenging but the end result was still very good!

    Will Always Remember This Great Fun Day

    I would highly recommend this experience, hands on , great tips from the Cakeboy himself and free flowing coffee, cake, equipment and knowledge. I was given this for a special birthday present and had no special skills in cake decorating but this did not hold me back. The small group had. Some real experts and amatures....all producing wonderful works of art in the form of cupcakes. I loved using the glitter paint and moulds of everything from hearts to animals to underwear. Great time and I completely forgot the stress of real life for the afternoon. Thank you

    Very Enjoyable

    We had an excellent time at Eric Lanlard's Cake Boy cupcake course. We were shown how to make decorations for the top of our cupcakes using silicone moulds and petal paste plus how to paint and decorate them with edible food colouring and edible glitter! Eric then showed us three methods to pipe the frosting onto the cakes and topped with the decorations made at the start. It would be a great experience for beginner bakers and experienced alike and I would recommend to anyone who is interested in baking and cupcakes!

    Excellent Afternoon Out!!

    It was great meeting Eric and being shown how to produce professional looking cupcake decorations. I will definitely use the skills I learnt again. One negative though (which is not really a negative) is that drinks are only offered more towards the end of the class. Other than that, it was a great afternoon, where we ended up spending 2.5 hrs docorating cakes.

    Excellent Experience

    Just like to thank Eric and the staff for a lovely experience at The Cake Boy. Every detail was thought about and in a relax and informal setting. I would recommend this day to anyone interested in cupcakes.

    Great Fun

    I recieved this gift experience as a birthday gift and went with a friend. We learnt a new skill and met some lovely people. It was a fun and relaxed afternoon and would highly recommend this to anyone you do not need to have a specific skill in cake making.

    Cup Cake Extravaganza

    Ruth K, 03 Aug 2011

    I would 100% recommend the cup cake decorating experience. It was brilliant! We were taught how to decorate the cakes by the very patient and fun Eric. What a great teacher! I especially loved piping the butter cream icing, he made it look simple, and it was. My work mates were over the moon whenr I took them the cakes the next day, they said they had never tasted better ones. I must admit, they looked really professional. I think the edible glitter helped. Only down side was that we wern't offered and tea of coffee for the whole experience as promised. Could have done with a drink as the class lasted for 2.5 hours and we needed that refreshment as we were working, not when we were about to leave. Great day all round, Eric is a legend and the Cake Boy shop is a professional and fun environment.

    The Yummiest And Messiest Day Possible!

    I had an amazing time during my afternoon of cupcake decorating with Eric Lanlard. The decorating was really useful and I shall be using these skills to decorate future cupcakes I make. I was made to feel welcome by everyone at cakeboy and have already started thinking about booking another cake making course there.

    Eric was very friendly and chatty, making everyone feel welcome. All that we learned can be replicated at home. It was a very nice afternoon. I would have liked more course availability, however, as I had to use holiday to attend.

    Excellent Day

    This cupcake decorating course gave me new ideas for making cupcakes look extra special and it was great to meet Eric Lanlard and benefit from his hints and tips. The cakes tasted amazing and I am looking forward to giving Eric's cake recipe a try at home. I love the Cake Boy apron as this is a good souvenir.

    Brilliant Fun!

    As someone who loves cupcakes (baking them aswell as eating them!) This was the perfect present for me. Eric was welcoming, friendly and even shared some of his baking secrets with us! A brilliant, girly day out that I would recommend to anyone!

    Fantastic Cake Fun!
