Cake Decorating Classes

The Artisan Cake Guild is a small studio in Seattle dedicated to cake making and the sugar arts. Tobey de Christopher, Director, has been baking professionally for over 30 years.  He makes specialty cakes for weddings and other occasions; and on request, offers classes to individuals and small groups.  His students come from all walks of life, ages, and skill levels.  Most of his teaching is one-on-one, but small groups are welcome-whether for a social occasion or employee training.
