   "There is so much junk and wrong information on the internet!  I remember feeling so frustrated trying to learn even just the basics.  That's why I gave up and just took a class from Emerlie.  It saved me so much frustration and wasted time.

   I took Emerlie's Wedding Cake Masters course literally because I was bored and depressed during COVID.  I needed a new hobby and career.  I had absolutely NO experience.  But, I took her class, posted the wedding cake that I made in class online and I immediately got a wedding cake order. Then I went on to have a VERY successful year making wedding cakes all because of Emerlie. If Emerlie can make me successful she can make anyone successful! 

   Read Emerlie's bio!  She's the real deal.  She went to a high-end confectionary arts school and has won awards. She's not just another "self-taught" baker on the internet.  She has real world experience.  She has run her own successful business for several years.  Don't just take a class from anyone!  Read their bio and then take a class from Emerlie.  She's worth every penny.

   Emerlie will do anything to make her students successful!  She will bend over backwards to help you. She's got the kindest heart and loves her students."

           -Rachel, Sweetly Yours Wedding Cakes

   "I have taken a few of Emerlie’s cake classes.  Emerlie is a master in what she does. She is a great teacher and  her classes are pack full of information and fun.  Each class has improved my skills so much. The skills I’ve learned have taken my business to the next level.  I am not exactly a newbie In the cake world but I have learned so many tips and tricks that I wish I had known years ago, the time and frustration that I could have saved myself…  I have not regretted a single class and look forward to upcoming classes with excitement.  Her classes are by far the best and most in-depth courses I have taken over the years.  I would recommend a class from her to anyone."

           -Valerie Christensen, Baking Memories

   "I would recommend this course to any baker who wants to take their knowledge & skill to the next level. Emerlie is a great teacher and has so much to teach you. She packs it all in. Plus, she is easy to reach after you have taken your class if you have more questions!"

           -Mrs. Madi Cakes

   "Emerlie is incredible! I love learning from her. She really knows the cake business inside and out, and always has the best tips and advice. She’s so knowledgeable about anything cake related, from recipes to stacking, decorating, delivering tiered cakes, to managing the business side of things, and much more. I would highly recommend her 100 percent!"

           -Kimberley Rivers, Cakes in the City

   "In-person classes with Emerlie are so much fun, very high value for a great price (as someone who's shopped around for cake education, I have paid for other experiences, online classes, etc that simply weren't as helpful.) The macaron class was very insightful, she answered tons of questions and helped us achieve perfect results! I had watched dozens of macaron tutorials and gotten very discouraged with inconsistent and frustrating results before attending her class, and I learned so many things that I have also been able to apply to candy making, baking, and running a kitchen professionally. 

Her e-book is awesome and enjoyable to read. It covers lots of topics that tutorials and baking blogs really either misunderstand, don't base in fact, arbitrarily proclaim what is the best without acknowledging the many variables that change from kitchen to kitchen, or simply skip over entirely. Plus, the recipes included are to DIE for. My favorites are the [salted caramel chocolate ganache] and the [marshmallow meringue topping]. The best part is that many of them are simple and help you create amazing things with ingredients that are common and easy to find, saving extra time and money. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who bakes-- no matter how many years of experience you have, there are so many epiphanies you will have while reading this book! And if you're just a beginner, it's a very accessible place to start. Thanks so much, Emerlie!"

           -Heather, Top Tier Confections

   "I’m in awe at what I was able to create in this masterclass. This was my very first cake class and only my second and third real cake (I’d only done 9x13 box cakes before) and with the right guidance and instructions, I was able to create something 100% on my own that I was proud of. Emerlie is the best teacher, she had patience and went above any expectations I had. I wish I would have taken this class earlier, I’m super pumped about the skills I have to create my own cakes now. 1,000% recommend this class or any class Emerlie teaches."

           -Mitzi Torgersen, Happy Confetti
