Begin with Butter Home Baking Academy

This Masterclass was absolutely amazing! It's perfect for all levels, but I'm going to share my experience as a new baker. For years I wanted to learn how to bake from scratch. It was such an intimidating process, until I met Shani of Begin with Butter. Her expertise, passion, and gift for teaching and baking make learning so much fun and inviting. This course was perfect to learn fun techniques for cake decorating. From accessories, utensils, achieving certain looks, etc. I can't wait to decorate my first cake and use the tools that she taught in this course to bring my vision to life. I recommend everyone to take her course whether it is to brush up on skills or learn new ones. I look forward to learning more baking techniques from BwB! Thank you again! (Artney, Birmingham, AL)

Shani's classes always inspire you to take your baking to the next level. I never leave without learning a new technique or tip that is helpful. She takes her time to thoroughly explain any technique and answer any questions that you may have.

I have taken Shani's classes before. She is a gifted teacher who really takes the time to explain not only the how to do a technique, but the why. She takes the time to answer questions and encourages a back and forth dialogue with her class. She used zoom for this class, and I found it really useful to have multiple camera angles to see what she was demonstrating. We could see an overhead view of what she was demonstrating, which helped to see what she was describing to us. We could all easily watch as her sauce thickened in consistency, the glaze come together, and when the sugar in the simple syrup was dissolved. I really appreciated her enthusiasm and passion for teaching others how to up their baking game with these easy touches that take a cake from ordinary to centerpiece worthy.

There are no words to say how informative and fun this class was.

I’ve had a natural talent for baking for years. But I wanted to solidify my practice and hone my skills to potentially sell my cakes. The tips and tricks were amazing. I learned so much and I look forward to no longer having any mishaps because of the information that was provided. Now, if I could just learn packaging tips (do you use a cake board to package a Bundt cake?) and how to price my cakes? Then ilI’ll be well on my way. Thanks again Shani! Looking forward to see who was selected to attend a free class before the end of the year.

Shani effortlessly takes you from self-doubt to knowing that you can bake like a professional with the right guidance and techniques. She holds NOTHING back and answers EVERY question and at all times holding your hands with a smile and patience. Highly recommend you make that investment... Perfection guaranteed!!! Nicky
