Course details

The Wedding Cakes & Treats course is led by the master pastry chefs at Lush Treats. This is where the art of baking meets the precision of engineering. This intensive, fully physical professional track is built for those who want to transition from home baking to creating multi-tier luxury wedding centerpieces. We focus on the “Luxury Standard” to ensure your cakes don’t just taste incredible, but possess the structural integrity and high-fashion finish required for Uganda’s top-tier weddings. All training takes place at our professional studio at Millennium Chambers, Entebbe Road.

What sets this course apart is our Real Wedding Apprenticeship. You won’t just study theory. You will be in the kitchen and on-site, learning the “Science of Scaling” and the logistics of delivering fragile masterpieces. We dive deep into the “Lush Experience” by teaching you how to create showstopping dessert tables and master the client care required for high-profile consultations. By the end of this course, you will have the technical confidence to engineer 5-tier cakes and a professional portfolio built from real-world wedding setups.
