Dhi is a fabulous teacher and the class was great fun. Small numbers meant lots of time to ask questions and get help with techniques. Can’t wait for the next class.

I loved my lessons with Dhi. I got a few tips and tricks which will be useful. Also I have always shied away from Swiss butter meringue thinking it would be too tricky. But no. Easy peasy. Thank you. Appreciate the lessons. Will be looking for level 3.

Really appreciated the clear instruction, hands-on experience, and the ability to create professional-looking results. Dhi was very knowledge, had a friendly demeanor, and the ability to simplify complex steps. This made the class more enjoyable and effective for various skill levels. What seemed a hard cake to create was made simple by the instructor and how he broke the instructions' down and made it very achievable.

Sweet Success: A Cake Decorating Class That Delivers

​Dhi was an excellent host and teacher for his ‘Cake Decorating Class – Level 1’, everything was explained clearly, and help was at hand if needed. His notes and instruction are easy to follow, and classes are small (3-4 people), so that you feel more engaged and had a more comfortable learning environment. I’ve taken a few classes now, with Dhi, and can’t wait till the next one.

Great Foundation for Cake Decorating

​I recently completed the Cake Decorating Level One course and absolutely loved the experience. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made the learning process both fun and easy to follow. I learned essential techniques like leveling, icing and piping — all of which have really boosted my confidence. The hands-on practice and supportive environment made a big difference. I’m excited to continue learning and highly recommend this course to anyone starting their cake decorating journey!

Super great experience, i accidentally missed the second day of class because my calendar got messed up and dhi was kind enough to teach me one on one! Of course, I don’t recommend doing this to respect his time. He is very kind, polite, approachable, and a great teacher! I learned a lot from his class that I’ve been using a lot these days!

I had such a great time at Dhi’s choux pastry class! Dhi was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole process fun and approachable. We learned to make two different pasties, and they turned out absolutely delicious. I left feeling inspired and ready to bake more. Highly recommend.

Very enjoyable class and appreciated the hands-on learning, knowledgeable and friendly instructor, and small class size for ample individual attention. As a student I learned valuable new cake decorating skills, such as creating smooth finishes, sharp edges, and decorative techniques like piping and palette knife designs. I really felt I'll be able to replicate techniques at home, the fun experience, and the satisfaction of creating a beautiful cake. The class is definitely worth taking.

The class was extremely fun and a very hands-on experience. The instructor was very knowledgeable and sociable, and the four students all had the ability to learn new skills and create delicious pastries like eclairs and profiteroles. Highly recommend the course and instructor!!

Really fun experience!

​I had a lot of fun in this class! Dhi explained each step very well, making sure we had the right knowledge and tips to be able to replicate this again at home. I took lots of notes and had all my questions answered. Not only that, we had a lot of fun making and decorating the cakes, and what I made is something that far exceeded my expectations of what I thought I would be able to make.
