An amazing teacher
The first class to took by Joshua was his free Modern Buttercream class and I immediately fell in love with his teaching style. This class is so helpful for many different techniques that you can take beyond the cake he is demonstrating. Joshua has such a natural talent for teaching. He is easy to understand and gives tips beyond the cake design. I can't wait for more classes taught by him!
Great Class
Joshua is well versed at explaining in detail the different components of this fabric inspired cake...right down to the feathers! Love him!
Fantastic!!
Loved every second of this course and how Joshua teaches every single detail and tricks! C'etait vraiment genial!!! I would really recommend, very inspiring!!
Always a pleasure
I took modern piping and loved every minute of it. I learned so many tricks and details I didnt know about. So when I saw Joshua teaching another class I knew it was worth it. He is amazing, and ill always take his craftsy classes.
