I have been coming to this store for about a year now. Every time I come in, I am welcomed by someone on the staff. If I have a question, everyone is helpful and knows exactly what I need. They have a great selection to choose from in pans, cutters, etc.
I am taking a class right now, taught by Sheila Brooks, owner of the store. She has been great! She's teaching us not only ways to decorate a cake and the different techniques, but also about running our own bakery. We've had some very good discussions. She's funny and gets along with everyone in the class. She will go out of her way to show us things that are not part of that day's curriculum. You only have to ask. She also helps individually for those that are having a bit of difficulty on a certain task. She watches everything we do and walks around the room to look at our work and give suggestions when it's warranted. I plan on taking the next 2 classes to get a PME Master's Certificate and I would not want anyone else teaching these classes!
Sheila has a wealth of experience for people to draw on and is more than willing to share information. She shows different methods without the ""my way is better"" attitude that a lot of people seem to have. She doesn't claim to know it all or to be the best cake decorator that God created. She is sincerely interested in helping us better our abilities.
I highly recommend her classes to cake decorators of any level!!!
Pros: very friendly staff, knowledgeable instructor /owner
Cons: it's a long drive from Spring, TX!!!
