How the Cupcake Decorating Class Works
The cupcake decorating class is a Cake Arts session and a cupcake celebration. The chef shows a small set of simple piping techniques, then guests put them to work on their own cupcakes. The designs follow the theme you choose, whether that is the season, a holiday or a special occasion, so the finished tray matches the event. Simple techniques mean beginners succeed quickly, and guests who already pipe can add more detail. Guests enjoy the cupcakes together as they finish decorating them, so the table of decorated cupcakes is admired, photographed and shared throughout the session.
How Many People Can Join?
The cupcake decorating class at the chef's San Francisco location takes 10 to 60 guests. Ten guests is the minimum, which suits a single team or a small celebration, and the room holds up to 60 for a department or a larger company group. The class is priced per guest, so the total follows your guest count. Groups larger than 60 can book the version where the chef travels to your office or business venue, which takes up to 120 guests.
Where It Happens
This version of the cupcake decorating class takes place at the chef's own location in San Francisco, a private dining room that is set up with everything needed for the cooking class before the group walks in. There is no travel charge, and the host does not need to supply tables, tools or a kitchen. Teams that would rather stay at the office can choose the version of this class where the chef travels to them instead.
Good Fit For

Can the Menu Work for Dietary Needs?
Yes. Ingredients, recipes and menus for the cupcake decorating class are fully customizable to suit preferences, dietary needs and the event theme. Allergies and dietary needs are confirmed at least seven days before class, which gives the chef time to plan substitutions for the whole group.
Planning Notes
Plan to book at least seven days ahead, since allergies and dietary needs are confirmed seven or more days before the class and reschedule requests also need seven days. The cupcake decorating class runs two hours, which fits a long lunch, an afternoon block or an evening event. Classes may involve sharp tools and hot surfaces, and photos or videos may be taken during the class.
