Do you know of anyone who is getting married or having a celebration next April? If they need a tiered cake, a sweet table, a sugar or chocolate showpiece, our post-graduate students in the Advanced Chocolate and Confectionery program are looking for clients. The students will meet with you to design, plan and execute the cake of your dreams for the cost of ingredients only. The timeframe in which the items will be delivered must be between April 1 and 30.
