So much fun!! I went to this with my best friend and it was an amazing start to our weekend. We had a really friendly group and learnt so much in 2 hours - best of all I got to show off my creations and share my delicious cupcakes with my family so everyone was a winner! Would definitely recommend this and would do it again in a heartbeat.

(More like 10*s!) An amazing, exciting and unique experience for our best friend's Hen Party. Xanthe was an amazing host who had so much patience and praise for us, 11 ladies, during our cupcake decorating session. Not only was she a perfect teacher, she was also a wonderful host who homemade an entire afternoon tea for us - eclairs and all! 5*s doesn't even come close to how fantastic our day was with Cookie Girl! Highly recommend.

I joined Cookie Girl last weekend and took part in the 2-Hour Beginner class. It was absolutely brilliant, me and my friend had such a fantastic time. We felt very welcome as we arrived, and got to know Cookie Girl (Xanthe) and the team very quickly. Over the 2 hours we were taught 4 different beginner icing techniques, all taught very clearly and well! Then we went onto creating our own cupcakes decor with the techniques we were taught - and we also got to take the yummy treats home! Such a fantastic day - recommend this to everyone!!

I attended a full day's cupcake decorating class taught by Cookie Girl at her lovely home. It was the best day I have had in a very long time. Cookie Girl was delightful and patient as the five of us on the course got to grips with the art of sugar craft, forming petite roses from fondant icing, sometimes not so petite, but Cookie Girl took time to help us improve each flower we created into something beautiful. We also had the opportunity to use a variety of icing moulds to create delicate designs and intricate patterns, and we were taught amazing piping skills to do lovely swirls on top of each cake, until we each had a wonderful array of decorated cup cakes to take home with us. Friends and colleagues were so impressed by the fruits of our labours that they disappeared the next day like hot, well, cup-cakes! A class with Cookie Girl is a definite recommendation from me, whether you go on your own, with a friend like myself or in a group for a team building exercise or a really different hen party experience. I have been inspired and I look forward to using my new found skills in the near future. I certainly have a lot more to put on my birthday and Christmas lists as I build up a collection of cup cake decorating kit. Thank you for a wonderful, exciting and pleasurable day Cookie Girl!

We learned basic cupcake decorating skills. The teacher was friendly and informative. The venue was nice and spacious. However, I think that we should have been taught at least one more technique, considering how pricey the class was.
