Classes
We run sugar craft classes at our shop in Midleton. We cater for everyone – from complete beginner to someone looking to improve their skills!
Gingerbread House founder, Emma organises and manages the sugar craft classes and is passionate about sharing her love of cake decorating and knowledge with you. We ensure all participants have a relaxed, enjoyable and, most importantly, fun day decorating. There is nothing quite like the feeling of excitement and pride that everyone has at the end of class when they see what they have achieved!
