Join us at Edinburgh Food & Drink Academy for a relaxed, hands-on Christmas cake decorating workshop. Perfect for beginners, baking enthusiasts or anyone looking to create something special for their Christmas table.
We will guide you through preparing and covering your fruit cake before showing you how to create a smooth, professional finish with marzipan and icing. You’ll learn practical decorating techniques, from creating crisp edges to finishing touches. Whether you prefer a classic Christmas design or want to put your own creative spin on it, you will leave with a beautifully decorated Christmas cake ready to take home and display.

“The cook school put me in touch with Castle Terrace, a good portion of my career was spent there… it’s great the connections you can make on the back of a course at the cook school.”
“The cookery school gave me the skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to see it through and make a living out of doing something I’ve always loved”
“…what really stood out to me was its reputation for high-level training in a supportive environment… The technical knowledge, attention to detail, and efficiency I have learned have all shaped how I think about food, whether I’m cooking myself or talking about it in my work.”
We understand the significance of this decision, and are always happy to arrange a call or tour with our Head Teacher for anyone with interest in our Professional Course Programme.
