Absolutely fantastic brilliant Gill was. I wanted to order cake last year, due to lock down had to wait until this year. I showed Gill what I would like and the result was amazing. I’m lost for words, the best cake for taste, design and value I’ve ever ever had ! Gill amazing talented lady. I certainly wouldn’t want anyone else to do a cake for me. AND GLUTEN FREE ...... NO PROBLEM ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hated to cut it and eat it, wanted to keep it forever THANK YOU XX

I travelled from Cheshire to complete the PME Diplomas at The Cake Shop and what a good choice I made. The shop is a cake decorators dream, full of every item you could ever need. The whole team are just lovely and welcoming and Gill and Chris the wonderful teachers are so talented. The school is small enough to ensure you receive top quality teaching but with all the equipment you will need. I made friends and enjoyed every moment. I cannot recommend The Cake Shop highly enough and I will be back for other courses in the future. I am so glad I decided to travel to this little Gem in the heart

Fantastic and knowledgeable staff. I have done many classes including the PME professional diplomas, Gill and Chris are both fantastic teachers and I have learnt so much. I often visit for my cake supplies and the prices always match those online. I always look forward to visiting the shop and having a chat with the staff , it’s such a lovely atmosphere.

I attended the pme classes with Gill and Chris probabally 3 years ago now. It was something that I had always been interested in but never had the confidence to try and decorate cakes. The classes were amazing. They were fun, exciting but at the same time we learned so many skills. I was so proud to make 4 tier wedding cakes following the classes with beautiful wired flowers cascading down. I received so many comments including from the wedding venues themselves! Thank you for all you have taught me in cake craft and confidence. I can thoroughly recommend pme classes here to anyone!

Attended the cover smoothly and stack safely class today and it was great! I enjoy family baking but have never used sugar paste and was thrilled with my results. I was worried as a total novice I’d be lost,… but instead came away with so much new knowledge. I had looked a cheaper online courses, but decided to give this a try and I’m so glad that I did - there is absolutely no substitute to standing in a room with someone with 40 years experience having hands on help and advice. I can’t wait to come back for another class - thank you Gill and ‘The Chloe’s&rsquo

The Cake Shop is not just a place to buy your decorating supplies, you can learn how to professionally stack and decorate your cakes too (which I now can!). They also run an annual trip to the NEC for the Cake International Show which is fantastic day out. Gill and her team are a lovely bunch of ladies and I am really happy to support their business.

Absolutely amazing cakes for my Sons joint 21st Birthday. Tom had a Jack Daniels Bottle cake and that was beautiful. The cake they made for my Jack was absolutely on a different level, I was very unhelpful in the planning stage as I couldn’t come up with a definite idea of what I wanted; when asked what he eats (due to his autism) I laughed and said Turkey Dinosaurs and Smiley Faces. The cake was a stunning plate with unbelievably accurate Turkey Dinosaurs and Smiley faces, it was the talk of the party, everyone was amazed at the detail on the cake.
I can’t begin to thank you enough for your

Excellent classes, doesnt matter if you have little or a lot of experience you will most certainly come away with a lot more confidence to give things ago. The staff are friendly and approachable and they dont make you feel that any question is a silly one. Classes are set at a pace that each person is comfortable with. i have attended 3 -4 weekly glasses and apart from enjoying all of them i know they have helped me and i can see that i have developed my skills in the work i can now complete.

I have recently completed my PME diploma at The Sugar Craft School and cannot recommend it highly enough. Gill and Chris are the best teachers and the staff are amazing. While offering a most professional service in fanastic surroundings with the best stocked shop I have ever been in, Gill and Chris are fun, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I travelled from Cheshire to attend the courses and it was well worth it....I urge you to give this school a go...you will not regret it 👍😁

I have completed 3 diplomas which have turned into a masters. I did diplomas in sugarpaste flowers, modelling and royal icing. I would like to say a big thank you to gill and chris for there patience and the rest of the team. I enquired new skills and techniques. The team were understanding and patience, not rushing you and so welcoming listening to you and taking your comments on board. You felt like one of the family. I would give them out of a hundred a hundredf

Where to start...
These lovely ladies made the most fabulous cake for the occasion of my grandson’s Christening.
Admittedly I did double check every detail but I was always given great patience and respect.
The cake surpassed any expectations I could have had. It was greatly admired by all the guests. Not only that, the two different sponges (one chocolate, the other lemon) tasted fabulous!
Well done to the ladies of this establishment. I can highly recommend using their services and have already passed their details on to a few guests at the party.

Highly recommended place and very friendly people. Dont even think twice, just go and give them an idea of what you have in mind and leave it to them to work their magic and create something special out of nothing.
Thank you for our beautiful first birthday cake. Tasted just as good as it looked. With different flavour for each tier.
Thank you for making our night more memorable and our pictures more beautiful.
