Bento Class by Matshepo’s Sweet Delicacies - 1 to 3 October

From 1 to 3 October 2025, Matshepo Sweet Delicacies will be hosting a hands-on Bento Class in Klerksdorp. The venue is set at 43 Central Avenue, Flamwood, where attendees will spend their time learning the finer points of cake baking and decorating.

The class runs at R1 800 per person. A 50% deposit secures a spot, although it is worth noting that the deposit is non-refundable.

For those with less patience and more ambition, there’s also a one-day Buttercream and Fondant Class available at R2 800.

What’s on the Menu

This is not just a “watch and hope you remember” type of workshop. Attendees will:

• Learn to bake a moist cake from scratch.

• Be taught how to level, crumb coat and cover cakes with buttercream.

• Be guided through making buttercream.

• Decorate cakes and cupcakes.

• Pick up different baking techniques.

• Learn how to package their creations.

It’s a proper roll-up-your-sleeves situation.

What You Get Out of It

Besides a sore arm from whisking, participants will leave with:

• A recipe booklet to replicate the results at home.

• A certificate of attendance for bragging rights.

• A list of suppliers to help keep the oven busy.

• Their own cake and cupcakes to take home.

So, essentially, you walk out with knowledge, cake, and paperwork.

Matshepo Sweet Delicacies is offering more than just a baking class; it’s a chance to learn practical cake skills, get the inside scoop on suppliers, and head home with both cake and confidence. Just don’t forget your apron and maybe some Tupperware for leftovers.
