Cake engineer success stories

I’ve done several online courses with Carol and her standard of teaching is outstanding. Carol explains everything in an easy to understand way and always goes into great detail, ensuring that all of your questions are answered.

I wanted to improve my cake decorating skills and I knew Carol was the right person to help me. I was initially nervous and felt out of my depth working with Carol, however, her experience and teaching methods put me at ease and grew my confidence very quickly.

My business has grown as a result of Carol’s classes which have taught me all the latest trends in Cake decorating and helped me keep my designs and skills at the front of the curve.

For Carol’s experience, high level of standards, and industry standing, you’re getting an amazing deal. I highly recommend that you take a Cakes by Carol class.

I’ve already taken a few courses with Carol, who is a genuine artist. I see the courses as an investment in myself as each time I’m growing my knowledge, confidence, and taking my skill set to the next level.

Carol is very patient, respected in her field, and a visibly passionate teacher. You can see that she really loves to pass on her wisdom and techniques to others.

I genuinely believe that spending time with Carol has prevented me wasting years of my own time on trial and error.

If you’re on the fence about taking one of Carol’s courses then please don’t be, I highly recommend them. I’m now able to offer my customers a much more premium service which they are very happy to pay for.

If you want to propel your business, stand out from the rest by having that extra edge then you won’t be disappointed by Carol.

Where do I start talking about Carol’s wedding cake lounge membership and community page? As Tina would say “it’s simply the best”

I’ve learned so much from the modules, which you can keep watching, the community is like one big family so if you’ve got a question there’s so much help coming your way.

I’ve been a member over a year and still haven’t made my way through all the videos, Carol is constantly sharing new tips, techniques and answering any questions the members have.

There’s also guest speakers that share their expertise. I even created my own website with the help of the modules – it blew my mind to see what I’d achieved.

I would 100% recommend the Service Carol provides, as my skills have far exceeded my expectations as a cake designer (before Carol I called myself a cake maker.)
