Free Level 3 Diploma in Baking & Cake Decorating Course

Everybody can taste a good cake. Only some of them get photographed!

Presentation does most of the work. A smooth finish, steady piping and sugar flowers that look like they were picked rather than made. Our free cake baking and decorating course covers the baking properly, then spends real time on everything that happens after the oven. Colour theory, texture, fondant, buttercream and the tools that make each one possible.

You will also learn how a tiered cake stays upright. That is a different skill from baking one.

1. Learn what each decorating tool actually does.
2. Choose between fondant and buttercream for the job.
3. Get a smooth base before any detail goes on.
4. Pipe borders, lettering and fine detail steadily.
5. Shape gum paste flowers and natural designs.

What Makes Our Programme Different

A three tier cake is an engineering problem before it is a decorating one. Dowels, boards, weight spread across each layer. Get it wrong and the whole thing sinks into itself somewhere between the kitchen and the venue. Our free cake designing material covers construction properly, which is where most self-taught bakers come unstuck.

Entry Requirements

Nothing formal needed to start. You will manage with:

1. Everyday English reading
2. A computer, tablet or phone
3. Age 16 or above
4. An oven and somewhere to work

Lifetime Certificate Validity

Yes, you read that right! Our course certificates never expire. Want the high-quality version? That costs just £5 once you finish. A hardcopy costs a little more.
