Hi everyone - I hope this is the right place to post this

So I have been asked if I would be willing to do a basic cake/cake decorating lesson by one of my colleagues. I will be teaching her partner. She said that he needs to learn things like how to make a good BC, basic piping, etc. so we're not even going to deal with fondant at this point. So my questions are:

What would you think should be charged? ($x per hour)

What would be good to include in a basic beginner lesson? I am thinking of making BC, making chocolate ganache, piping cupcakes with 1M tip, crumbcoating and frosting a cake....what else?

Thanks for your help!!

It's hard to tell you what to charge, only you know what your time is worth.

Maybe include basic piping skills like rosettes, basketweave, stars, drop flowers, shells, reverse shells, writing on a cake, and b/c roses.

I wouldn't charge anything. I show people how to make things all the time and just have fun doing it.

Personally I'd direct them to a Wilton class. It would be a cheaper option than what I would charge for a one on one session.

How much you charge will depend on what exactly you are offering. Are you buying all the supplies or giving them a list of what needs to there already? Are you baking cakes or having him do it ahead of time?

How long do you plan to spend on the lesson?

Anyone, anyone?
