Baking has been one of my off court passions. Making my own cupcakes and brownies surely put the blues out of me.
Bakecraft is a leading supplier of goods and materials for your everyday baking. Recently, they started with their lifestyle classes to share the techniques and knowledge of different leading culinary chefs in the country. It is the brainchild of Len Macalintal, a homebaker mom who set up her own baking supplies shop that offers affordable yet quality items.
I attended the Fondant & Gumpaste Cake Decorating Class led by Chef Gie Feria, one of the in-house chefs at Bakecraft. From the basic concepts, demo of the procedure and to the actual making of the fondant, it was clearly explained and taught to our class. It was definitely a fun experience. I was accompanied by my friend, Roselle Rancap in this class. We surely put on some muscles while kneading our own fondant!
Making my own first fondant cake was so fun and exhausting! I just came from Melbourne few hours before I attended the class but all the efforts are worth it! I can’t believe I designed my own cake in just under 9 hours. Talk about productivity! Spring and Tennis are two of my inspirations on this cake. Spring because it was the current season in Melbourne where I had a vacation for two weeks. Tennis on the other hand because it’s my favorite sport. I predominantly used two colors: mint green and baby pink. Isn’t it a lovely combination?
Apart from the baking classes, they also offer regular cooking classes. They also launched a kiddie cupcake/cookie decorating classes for small children who want to play and experience making and designing their own cookies or cupcakes. Each child gets 6 sugar cookies or 6 cupcakes or 6 cake pops or 1 6″inch cake that they’ll learn to frost and decorate. And of course, all students get to take home their own creations. As they say, mold them while they are young!
Here are some of the group photos along with my classmates’ work of art:
Bakecraft also conducts Team Building, Celebrations and Bridal Showers. The staff will handle the preparation and the cleaning while the guests are only responsible for enjoying the activity and the company.

That is an amazingly skilled job, with fantastic images. I will make my wife aware of this website and recipes. Alan
I struggle hard with fondant! I never thought to take a class to learn the proper technique. Great idea 🙂
My own knowledge of cake making is sadly deficient, yet made this article all the more interesting. I certainly need classes to achieve any measure of those gorgeous results!
That is something really different and yummy. You people are so much skilled. Lovely guys
Looks like such a fun class. Fondant cakes are so gorgeous but really not easy to work with.
Baking and cooking consoles me as well. The tennis cake was super cute!
I love baking cakes but I’m not really sure how I feel about fondant. They can make cakes look like pieces of art, but navigating them while eating seems to take all the fun away for me. Loved how your tennis & spring inspired cake turned out.

I really love all of these ideas, especially the tennis ball designs, how original and eye-catching. Making cakes is always a great way to show others that we care.
This was probably quite fun! I have always wanted to bake with fondant. Well done!
I love decorating with fondant, but unfortunately I don’t love the taste of it much. My kids love it though!
Great job! Glad to know that you guys have fun creating these and to be honest, I kind of like the “organic” and “raw edges” of these cakes as they doesn’t have to look so perfect. 🙂 – Knycx journeying
Looks such fun! I have been wanting to do a baking class, but got the chance to do it:)
Nnnniiiiccceeeeee…are these baking class still running? It’d be good to join in, you know! Thanks for sharing.
What a great class. I haven’t baked with fondant and it would be nice to have this instructional class available.

I love that they offer regular cooking classes too not just baking
This is a gorgeous cake! Great job on the decorating!
Looks like you had a great time. this makes me wanna start with baking again.
That’s such a fun class. My wife and I have always wanted to enroll in cooking, baking, or food decorating class.
Ahh this is what i really want to experience someday.. One of my frustrations is baking and cake decorating. I have been watching a great number of baking videos but never had a courage to do it.. I wish there are more classes like this… After the pandemic maybe
Great job! I’ve always wanted to try this, but it does look like a lot of work. But you did it and it looks fantastic!!
Congratulations on your new skills! The cake looks fantastic and the classes sound like fun.
I have to admit that my cake decorating skills are close to nil. I love baking though, and would love to take a class like this one!
This is an enjoyable class and can ad to your skills. You did an amazing job in baking this fondant cake. Looks delicious too!
I’m not really into baking, i just love eating the cake and pastries. I tried one tho, all i did was a huge pile of mess. I think i need Bakecrafts help.
