🎓 KKD Cake Academy

Take Your Baking Further

Recipes are a great place to start. If you want to build your confidence, improve your decorating skills or learn practical cake-making techniques step by step, KKD Cake Academy is designed to help you do exactly that.

Coming Soon Courses are not open yet. Join the KKD list and you will hear first when the Academy opens its waitlist.

What is being built

  • KKD Beginner Cake Recipe Collection The starting point: the core sponges, buttercreams and fillings in one place, with the technique explained.
  • KKD Celebration Cake Recipe Collection Taller cakes, layered fillings and the finishes that make a cake look like it came from a bakery.
  • KKD Buttercream & Filling Collection Every buttercream and filling KKD uses, with consistency, colour and storage guidance.
  • KKD Cupcake & Dessert Collection Bakery-style cupcakes, dessert cups and the small things that sell well.
  • KKD Nigerian Treats Recipe Collection Nigerian-inspired baking and small chops, written down properly.
  • KKD Cake Business Starter Guide Costing, pricing, portions, collection and the practical side of taking orders.
  • KKD Cake Academy: self-paced courses Step-by-step video and written courses, building from first cake to confident decorating.

None of this is on sale yet. When a course or a collection is ready it will appear here with its price, and not before.

Being written next

These are the articles in the queue. They appear here when they are written, not before: a title with an empty page behind it helps nobody.

  • How to Calculate the Cost of a Cake
  • How to Price Homemade Cakes
  • Understanding Cake Portions
  • How to Prepare Cakes for Customer Collection
