Birthday Parties
Young Chef

Our cupcake and biscuit decorating parties are a fun and creative way to celebrate a birthday.

Guests are welcomed to a beautifully set table, complete with sprinkles, decorations, and plenty of inspiration. Each child receives their own apron and a cake to practise on—before enjoying their creations at the end!

We offer a variety of themes to choose from, including:

  • Insects
  • The Ocean
  • Tropical Beach
  • Vintage Floral
  • Dinosaurs
  • Forest Animals
  • Magical Creatures
  • Seasonal themes such as Christmas, Easter, or Halloween

Cupcake Parties
The session begins with children using moulds to create decorative toppings for their cupcakes. For example, in an Ocean-themed party, they might make mermaid tails, shells, seahorses, and fish. Along the way, they’ll learn the difference between fondant and modelling fondant, how to colour their paste, and how to carefully remove delicate shapes from moulds.

Next, they’ll move on to freehand modelling, crafting unique characters and learning how to give each one its own personality.

Finally, it’s time to decorate! Each child will ice six cupcakes using buttercream, experimenting with different piping nozzles, colours, and techniques to create beautiful swirls and designs. Their creations are finished with sprinkles, sparkles, and even a touch of edible gold paint.

Biscuit Decorating
Children will learn how to cover shaped biscuits with fondant and decorate them using piped royal icing. Textured rollers and a variety of tools add even more creative possibilities—plus, of course, extra sprinkles!

Each participant also receives a glass of bubble tea, and every child goes home with a box of six decorated cupcakes and/or their finished biscuits.

Every party can be tailored to suit your needs. Our baker, Jess, will create a bespoke experience based on your child’s interests. Minimum group size is six, with prices starting from £25 per person.
