GCakes – Cake Decorating Workshops
Cake decorating workshops using cupcakes, cookies and cakes, designed around your event, birthday or other occasion. Each workshop is very hands-on, and every guest goes away with new knowledge of cake decorating and various techniques and skills. Children's workshops are tailored to children's needs and skill level, with hands-on guidance through each process so they have fun using their creative minds while learning a new skill. For events, corporate bookings, VIP occasions and launches, workshops can be set up at your chosen location and tailored to your needs - tap 'Enquire' to host a private event in Dublin, whether social, corporate or otherwise. Please note these are not baking classes: freshly baked items are supplied for guests to bring home, but allergens are not catered for, as all items are baked and stored where nuts are also stored. In every workshop, guests take home their own sweet creations along with a box of handmade treats they've decorated themselves. All necessary utensils and tools are supplied, with decorating themed to suit the group's wishes and age range. Tween & Teen Workshops (12+ years) are slightly more advanced, covering a range of decorating skills from piping to sugar paste, 3D models and more.
