http://www.wilton.com they have videos and books available for how to on wedding cakes.why take a course?? go get some dummy cake forms and ice and decorate them til you can do it with ease. Stacking cakes the same way.Take photos of all the dummy cakes you decorate to your satisfaction and make a scrap book of what you can do.I took a crash course in a real working bakery on decorating cakes just at Mothers Day one year, follow up was all the wedding shower cakes, high school graduation cakes then June and all the Wedding cakes that were on the schedule!!My cousin did her cake decorating on dummy cakes photographing them and making a book of the best of her ideas. She posted signs in the churches on bulletin boards and at laundromats and other places brides might see them. All the signs had a cake as feature site.She has a very thriving business from her home.Not sure what your plans are, but those are my ideas on how to do this.

Your local community college might have some 'craft classes' on cake decorating and baking. You may also want to check with your local arts and crafts store, they may surprise you. I know that, for example, there are some Michael's stores that hold cake decorating classes that range from simple to complex, like wedding cakes. Good luck!

i did a cake decorating course when i was younger which my mum arranged for me. she just asked in the local cake decorating shop, dont know if you have one near you. you could google it to find your nearest. i dont think books are much use except to refresh your memory of what you have learnt, there are techniques that are quite difficult to master unless some one has shown you especially flower making as its very fiddly. oh the shop was in erdington in birmingham long time ago though! check out http://www.diy-icingcentre.co.uk/home.cfm

Have you got a prospectus from your local adult college? I know our local college does that sort of thing but rather a long way for you to travel to Berkshire! Good luck.

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances. Wedding Photography Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day. Wedding Favors Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you... Wedding Food Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget. Wedding Cake Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition Wedding Party The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
