CHECK BEFORE YOU ENROL FOR ANY WILTON COURSE / PROJECT CLASSES

To ensure the quality and standard of your learning experience when you enrol in any certified Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course or Wilton Project Classes, and the authenticity of your Wilton Certificate, Wilton Products Inc. stringently monitors the standards of their courses in these 3 areas:

1) Course curriculum

2) Wilton Method Instructor - All Wilton Method Instructors must have valid instructor certificates. Wilton Products Inc. renews instructor certificates on a yearly basis to ensure high standards of teaching.

3) Premises where Wilton Courses and Project Classes are conducted - Wilton Products Inc. does not allow Wilton Courses to be taught in private homes or non authorised premises. All Wilton certified classes must be conducted in a Wilton Authorised Course Centre. Wilton Products Inc. checks all authorised centres certified to conduct Wilton courses, to ensure high standards. All Authorised Centres worldwide must have valid Wilton Course Centre certificates as well.

Before enrolling in any Wilton certified course or workshop, you have the right to ask to see your instructor's Wilton Method of Instructor Certificate (which must be valid) as well as the Wilton Authorised Centre certificate which authorises that particular premise to teach Wilton Courses and Project Classes.

Please beware of people who claim that they are certified to conduct Wilton certified Courses and Project Classes in the premises of their private homes or in premises unauthorised by Wilton. Certified Wilton Instructors can conduct Wilton courses only within Wilton Authorised Centres. If any one of the 3 conditions are not met, your Wilton Course certificate may not be authentic.

The Bake It Yourself Store's Wilton Authorised Centre Certificate is posted at our Store. Please feel free to view it when you attend our classes.We also guarantee that all our Wilton instructors have valid Wilton instructor certificates.

4 REASONS TO ENROL WITH THE BAKE IT YOURSELF STORE

Main Reason? To us at The Store, cake decorating is not just a business, it's a passion and this passion is reflected in all the classes we conduct.

1. We're The Cake Decoration Specialists!

Do you want to learn cake decorating from the specialists or from generic baking supply stores? Where better to learn cake decorating than here, at the Bake It Yourself Store. Our retail store carries the widest range of dessert decorating products, and the courses we conduct specialise in all kinds of dessert decorating, like decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies, candy, petit fours.

2. Small Class Sizes:

The maximum class size is 6 students only for Courses 1 and 2, and even smaller class size for Course 3 and Fondant & Gumpaste Course with maximum of 4 students only. Therefore our students get all the personal attention that our Wilton trained instructors can give, and we all know how important that is when it comes to learning cake decoration techniques.

3. Approachable, Eloquent And Fun Instructors Who Are Passionate About Cake Decorating:

One of the key reasons why courses at The Store are so special are our instructors. Our Wilton trained instructors are hand picked by The Store for their skills, enthusiasm, personality, eloquence and passion for teaching and cake decorating.

4. Homey Learning Studio:

Learning at our kitchen studio is like being at a friend's house. We think steel tables are cold and unfriendly! Our studio is decorated and out-fitted with our students in mind. We

believe that when you are comfortable and at ease, you will enjoy your lessons more and learn better. Our students love our pine tables, comfortable chairs, wallpaper and lots of shelf room for their belongings. That, together with small class sizes, make our classes memorable and fun, and many of our students remain friends with each other and their instructors even after the course has ended.

FAQs

Q: Most schools offering the Wilton Method in other parts of the world offer 2 hours per lesson, 4 lessons per course, as B-I-Y does. However, there are a few that offer longer hours per class. Why is that?

A:  It depends on the size of the class. Some schools have very large classes (as large as 15 - 20 students in a class). So more time is required to teach the same curriculum to a large crowd. B-I-Y follows closely the Wilton courses as taught in the United States (the country of origin). With a small class, 2 hours per lesson is enough to ensure that all students are taught well, with close supervision by the instructor.

Q:  Some schools make all the necessary icings for their students. Why doesn't B-I-Y do the same?

A:   There are no short cuts to learning. B-I-Y follows closely the set procedure by Wilton Industries. We expect our students to make their own icings because we firmly believe that it is only by preparing their own icings that our students will learn. Making icings correctly and understanding icing consistencies are key to good decorating. Our trained Wilton Instructors are on hand to check the icings and instruct students if it is not up to the Wilton standard. In fact, we spend a lot of time ensuring that our students understand how to get their icings and icing consistencies right. For that matter, our students are also expected to bring and work on real cakes and not dummy cakes, because icing and decorating a dummy cake is very different from the real thing. Yes, B-I-Y students have more to prepare, but we believe they learn more too.
