Using cutters, mould and tools, make designs to cover your cake and learn the skills and techniques to make a 3D easter bunny, spring flowers and paint bees fondant figures. The last week you will attach all your creations to a homemade or shop-bought cake.
Enrolment with the college is essential prior to the course starting.
Why should I choose the course?
This course will expand your knowledge to being able to make your own Easter-themed cakes using fondant decorations that you make in class each week.

You will be informally assessed by the tutor, and you will also self-assess your weekly progress using an individual learning plan.
You will start by making toppers and progress onto how to cover a cake and add your fondant decorations.
What will the course lead on to?
The College will offer further introduction themed courses such as Christmas, Winter/Valentine and Summer.
What are the entry requirements?
Learners MUST bring with them the tool kit provided at the previous course.
What are my funding options?
For information on funding contact Learner Services on 01925 494400 or email learner.services@wvr.ac.uk.
Are there any additional costs associated with the course?
Please note: the icing and food colouring are provided. However, you will need to bring your own apron, a container to take your items home each week and cakes (either home-baked or shop-bought). Cakes are not required for the first week and your tutor will advise you at the first class what you need to bring throughout the course. You must bring back the tool kit provided at your first course.
