    I took an in-person course with Lynne in around 2017 but life interfered and I never got to start my cake business. I enrolled in this online course to refresh my memory but found it to be so much more than that as it's packed full of invaluable information and presented very professionally. The detailed explanation of how to build a master stock sheet and putting quotes together is exactly what I needed. I also loved the photography section as I always struggle to get proper shots of my cakes. You and your husband make a great team!

    If I could I would rate 6 stars :) Main reason I bought this course was to understand how to calculate cost of cakes especially decorations, overheads, labor etc.... and you covered it 150%. Thank you Lynne so much!!!!
