With the help of Avalon, I won silver for my wedding cake at Cake International, which resulted in a long term job with a local cake decorating shop. You have changed my life, thank you. My cakes are now professional. Avalon has given me so much knowledge, and I am still learning. Invest in yourself. A few pounds a month gave me the support and confidence to change my life forever! Thank you.
Because of Avalon Cakes School, I’ve made my first structure cake! I would have never thought I could do something like that!
I love the way her brain works and comes up with cakes and designs that just make me say wow and then because of this platform I can actually make it! I find her to be so unique!
Avalon Cakes has allowed me to expand my skills to another level completely! My cakes are now clean, structured and exactly what I visioned them to be in my head!
I wasn't confident. I was actually just a hobby baker when I joined Avalon Cakes. Now, I'm proudly running my small cake business from home thanks to all the knowledge I have learned through her tutorials and the Facebook group!
Love this class! Well explained and demonstrated, learned new techniques, and love Avalon! Can't wait to see more of you and your techniques!
Congrats!!! Great instructor !!!! Thanks for sharing your tips. Love the way you teach !!!
Avalon is such a great teacher and amazing cake artist. The class was so good, and I learned so many new techniques!
…What I love about this class is learning from someone who has gone through all the trial and error, and is sharing that experience with you. That is truly priceless. Fantastic class.
This was awesome. One of the main reasons I was so excited about joining Avalon's online school is because she thinks outside of the box, & I just love that. Just about anyone can make a cake the traditional way, but to create the way she does, conjuring up the unexpected & taking it to an over & beyond cake form, that's talent. And to share it with us, love her for that!
I want to thank you for your stellar tutorials. I just watched the winter wonderland, and can't wait to try everything! …I am learning so much in your school and am so grateful for the tips and tricks you are sharing. The more I watch of your tutorials, the more I appreciate how you are doing them and making the knowledge possible to learn and pickup.
Avalon, I have been a member since day one. I absolutely love and admire the things you come up with to teach us. Just when I thought I knew it all, BAAAM, here's another trick up your sleeve. You are easy to follow, some other people's tuts are really annoying to me. I guess you must have that special touch with your soft approach and easy to listen to music. I love your sense of humor, and usually can't wait to see whats in store for us next. Even though I am more on the advanced skill level, I still learn new things all the time. Thank you for sharing your special talent with us, and I will continue to be a huge supporter of you and your Avalon cake school.
