I am class taught. Once you know the basics of cake decorating you can pretty much learn the rest from cake decorating books with instructions. |

I am class taught, but don't feel intimidated going in there! The teacher I had was wonderful and there was a wide range of people in the class. A few of the ladies were already making cakes for customers before the first class and others had never baked a cake before. We all had a ton of fun and learned from eachother as well as the teacher. So sign up for a class - I guarantee you will love it! |

I am self taught. Classes are too far away. But thanks to CC I've learned more than I ever would have on my own! |

I am class taught (still being taught) ...and I agree dont be intimidated to go to a class....we had all levels!
I must say though, I am learning a TON through this site, I would still be doing cakes w/o fillings and would never have heard of FBCT or anything (cant wait to try it). |

Until this last month and 1/2 I was totally self taught... can't say that I have learned a lot in my classes, finishing course 3 next week, but, I have learned somethings that I don't think that I could have taught myself. |

I took 2 classes but the teacher didn't teach me anything I didn't already know or could learn from the book. I've learned more from CC than I ever learned there. So I guess I'm sort of self taught! |

I was self taught for years, then about 2 years ago I decided to take the beginners course from an award winning teacher. I learned soooooo much in her class from day one. Now, completely addicted, I try to take every new class available. It really keeps me motivated, and I love the interaction with the other ladies in the classes. |

Self taught for now, but I am looking for some classes to take. I am so visual, I think it would really help me to be able to see someone do the things I am struggling with. |

Never baked, until I started watching the foodchannel and cake competition. After that I decided to take a class and finished a few month ago course 3. I really enjoyed the classes. Go for it. Continue to learn especially since i found CC.  |
