Online Cake Decorating Courses for Hobby Bakers & Cake Business Owners
Learn professional cake decorating skills - from ganache, buttercream, and tall cake structure to creative finishes, piping details, and modern decorating techniques - with clear, step-by-step online courses taught by an award-winning Australian cake artist.
Welcome to Enchanted Cakes by Yvette - a space for cake makers who want their cakes to look professional, hold their shape, and feel calmer to create.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience and more than a decade running a successful custom cake business, I teach the foundational skills that make cake decorating more reliable and enjoyable. My work has been featured in Cake! Magazine and Cake! TV, and the techniques I teach are the same systems I’ve used for real client orders, weddings, and events.
Whether you’re baking for family, taking custom orders, or building a cake business alongside a busy life, you’ll learn how to create smooth ganache, stable buttercream finishes, tall cakes that don’t lean, and cakes that can be delivered with confidence - without relying on guesswork or trial-and-error.

How I Teach
(And Who This Space Is For)
I believe cake decorating is learned best in a calm, supportive environment - with clear guidance, strong foundations, and space to practise without pressure.
My teaching style is thoughtful and structured. I focus on helping you understand the why behind each technique, so you can build confidence and solve problems on your own - not rely on shortcuts or constant reassurance.This space is especially well suited to cake makers who are self-motivated, curious, and genuinely enjoy learning. If you value steady progress, clear systems, and growing your skills over time, you’ll feel very comfortable here.
You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to rush.
You just need to care about doing the work - and doing it well.
Cake decorating doesn’t need to feel stressful, unpredictable, or overwhelming.
With the right foundations and clear systems, creating beautiful, stable cakes becomes repeatable - and enjoyable again.
Whether you’re here to improve your skills, gain confidence, or build something meaningful around your love of cake, you’re in the right place.
