Jacksonville Cakes & More is a cake decorating academy that has served Duval and surrounding counties since 2015. It reports teaching over 1,000 students. It used to sell decorating supplies too, but it has stopped retail sales and now focuses on classes and custom cakes.
The classes are hands-on and stick to sugar work. Topics include Cake Decorating Fundamentals, Advanced Buttercream & Fondant Sculpting, gumpaste sugar flowers, Royal Icing Artistry, and wafer flower and isomalt designs. The school says the curriculum works for curious beginners and also pushes experienced bakers who want to specialize. It also aims to help home bakers take the first steps toward a home-based cake business.
This is not a general cooking school, so come for cakes, not dinner. Book through the class schedule page. The shop still makes custom cakes to order, and its YouTube channel has free instructional videos. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 from 68 reviews.
