Good to know

Do I need any experience?↓
None at all. Every session is one-to-one, so the pace adapts entirely to you. Complete beginners are very welcome - and if you already bake, Shinhye will tailor the session to push your skills further.
How do I book?↓
Send an enquiry below with your preferred masterclass and a few dates that suit you. Shinhye will reply within 24 hours to arrange your design consultation. As sessions are one student at a time, full payment secures your date.
What should I wear or bring?↓
Just yourself! All tools, ingredients and an apron are provided, plus a box to carry your cake home. Decorating can get a little messy, so wear clothes you don't mind getting some buttercream on.
Allergies↓
Classes involve working with common allergens including gluten, dairy and eggs, and we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment, so they are not suitable for severe allergies. Please tell us about any allergy when you book.
Cancellations↓
Cancel 2 weeks or more before your session for a full refund, within 2 weeks for a 50% refund. We are unable to refund cancellations made less than 1 week before. If we ever need to cancel, you receive a full refund or a rescheduled date - your choice.
Where is the studio?↓
Classes take place at the Danine Cakes studio in Streatham, South London (SW16). Please arrive about 5 minutes early so your session can start promptly - with 1:1 classes, every minute is yours.
