Christmas Cake Decorating Classes in Swindon (2026)

Every December I get the same message: "I wish I'd booked a class last year." So this year I'm getting in early. Here is everything I'm running at my studio in Swindon this Christmas, who each class suits, and what you take home at the end.

All classes are small, everything is baked and prepped before you arrive, and the adult classes come with a glass of fizz, mince pies and Christmas music. You just turn up and decorate.

For grown ups

Fondant Christmas Biscuit Class

Two hours, eight shortbread biscuits covered in fondant, embossed and hand painted. It's the hamper style biscuit you see in posh shops, and far easier than it looks once you know the order to work in. Bag them up with ribbon and that's teacher gifts sorted.

Christmas Wreath Cupcakes

Eight cupcakes, each decorated with buttercream, fondant trees and holly, then brought together into one wreath with a bow. A lovely one to book with friends or a work team, and complete beginners are very welcome.

Christmas Ganache & Snowflake Stencil

If you've always wanted those clean, sharp edged cakes, this is where to start. You'll ganache your own cake and finish it with a snowflake stencil design, ready for the Christmas table.

Christmas Jumper Cake Class

The showstopper. Four hours, just two students, and a fondant covered Christmas jumper cake with knitted texture, cuffs and collar, all made by you. It's the one people are proudest of at the end.

Traditional Christmas Cake, Marzipan & Royal Icing

The proper old fashioned way. Marzipan, royal icing and a finish your nan would approve of. Perfect if you bake your own fruit cake every year but have never quite been happy with how it looks.

For little ones (with a grown up)

One hour sessions for children aged 4 to 12, with one adult and one child per place. Cupcakes, gingerbread or shortbread, a table full of sweets and sprinkles, and a box to take everything home in. Nothing to bring and nothing to clear up, which is the best bit.

Bringing two children? Use SECONDCHILD at checkout when you book a second place in the same session.

Good to know

All classes are at BSS House, Cheney Manor Road, Swindon SN2 2PJ, with free parking on site. I'll send room details and directions with your booking confirmation.

Places are small (two to eight per class), so they do go. A class also makes a lovely Christmas present if you'd rather give an experience than another candle.

Any questions, just drop me a message. I'd love to see you at the studio this Christmas.
