In this class based on students' feedback, we have decided to help take the stress out of having to prep for the icings and cakes. Just add an additional $70 and daily the required icings, cakes, dummy and cupcakes will be given to you. Rest assured though that you will still see the actual demo of how to make your icings on day one. After all, this is a decorating class and knowing how to make your icing is of utmost important.
However, we understand that some students may have time and still would like to do their own cakes and icings from home, so the add-on is optional. You can still just choose to go for the basic package where only the book and kit are provided, and daily you will be informed of the portions of cakes and icings to bring from home.

About Bake It Yourself
we_they (B-I-Y) pioneered an all-in-one shopping concept in Singapore which revolutionized the cake decorating industry by enabling everyone, from hobbyists and amateurs to cake artists and pastry chefs, to create customized cakes through providing the 3 basic elements – training, tools and ingredients for the cakes. As a result, B-I-Y has facilitated the development of a new industry of cake decorators which are outside of the traditional hotel and bakery providers.
we_they started by selling beautiful ready to use edible decorations to hotels and bakeries. However, so many hobbyists requested for these products that the we_they retail store in Singapore was established in 2005. Originally a small store specialising in cake decorating equipment, operating within a 1000 square foot ground floor of a shophouse, it soon expanded to occupy the second and third floors of the shophouse, It also started conducting intimate, personalized classes for regular customers. Within 5 years, we_they Course Centre has become Singapore’s foremost Wilton and PME authorized centre, conducting the world famous Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Courses and the PME Professional Diploma Course, as well as more than 40 popular decorating and baking courses. B-I-Y’s students and customers also started to extend to tourists from neighboring countries
