"The buttercream flower workshop was perfect! Lara and Alain are both such amazing hosts and kind people. It was wonderful to get to be welcomed into their home and be able to build upon some experience I have had with buttercream flowers. Lara is a great teacher and they are both more than happy to answer and and all questions!"

HEATHER | @SWEETHEATHERANNE
"I had an amazing time at Lara's workshop! She clearly has spent a long time meticulously developing her craft and passes her wisdom onto students in a delightfully approachable format. I also loved meeting all of the other cake designers at the workshop. It was a beautiful day filled with creativity and conversation. Such an inspiring start to the year!"

JULIANA | @SINFULSWEETSCAKERY
"Taking LILA’s workshop was such an amazing experience. Not only did I walked out of there with added knowledge in regards to piping buttercream flowers but I actually ended up getting input on how to run my business, suppliers, how she does everything else from cake boards to boxes, transportation, piping tip storage ideas… I mean, it was worth every penny and then some more!"
Taking LILA's workshop was such an amazing experience.
ELIZABETH | @CITYGALBAKES
"As a total newbie to buttercream florals of any kind finding herself in a room with real pros, I walked in terrified in the morning and left in the afternoon totally shocked at what I was able to create. Lara and Alain were the most gracious hosts. Lara was the most welcoming, calm and patient instructor, and I was very impressed by her ability to work with everyone in the room, from total pros to beginners! She answered every single question and provided real insight into how to run a cake business, right down to what podcasts she listens to ;). Thank you, Lara!

LILY | @art_with_flavor
I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from the talented cake/buttercream flower artist Lara. The workshop was very detailed and well organized. Lara explained and demonstrated everything in such detail that as a beginner, I felt very comfortable piping my first buttercream flowers. Even after the workshop, she is available and willing to answer any questions that may arise. If you are looking to invest in yourself, this workshop is the place to be! Worth every penny and the distance that you may travel! Highly recommended!

I took the piped buttercream flower workshop and it was such an incredible experience. Lara and Alain couldn't have been more lovely hosts and they made us all feel so welcome and at ease. The course was perfectly paced so that we had time to practice and also socialize/ask questions. I not only learned how to create beautiful buttercream flowers, but also got so many great tips about the cake business in general. Completing the course was truly invaluable and I am so happy I took it!

She walks you step by step through the whole process, while having fun along the way! Highly recommend taking any of Lara’s classes!”
Highly recommend taking any of Lara's classes!
TAYLOR | @caRVEDCOLOR
"I decided to sign up for this class even though I am not a cake or pastry designer, and I am so glad I did! Lara makes everything fun and easy to understand even if this is your first time or 100th time decorating cakes. Aside from Lara's expert instruction... the space, set up and general attention to detail is above and beyond. But what would you expect, I mean look at her cakes!"
Lara makes everything fun and easy to understand.
ABBY | @ABBYSTOLFO
"This workshop is one of the best investments you can make in your cake decorating development. Not only did I come away with a gorgeous cake and techniques that I’ve since been able to recreate, I also left with a wealth of information on a wide range of best practices for running a cake business that has saved me months of learning by trial and error. Lara is beyond generous with her knowledge and her instruction is patient and clear. Thank you, Lara and Alain for your warm, welcoming hospitality and a truly cake-changing experience."
One of the best investments you can make in your cake decorating development.
TIFFANY | @MIGOODIESBAKESALE
"I have been a fan of Lara's work for awhile and I signed up to take the Painted Buttercream Florals class to push myself out of my design comfort zone and hopefully level up my skills at the same time. Mission accomplished! If you are a professional, hobbyist or just want an afternoon of fun in Temecula, this is the class for you. Did I mention the delicious treats and drinks? 10 out of 10 highly recommend!"

CONNOR | @connorscraftcakes
"LILA Cake Shop's piped buttercream flower workshop was so incredibly personal, professional and gave all of the students who attended plenty of opportunity to ask as many questions as needed. This art form requires a great deal of detailed technique, and Lara and Alain are so thoughtful to share every step necessary to create masterpiece buttercream flowers as beautiful as their own. They also answered all of the business and other cake-related questions to help make a successful home-based wedding cake business. 5 stars! I absolutely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the craft!"
I absolutely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the craft!
