Turn your talents into a profitable cake business

With a decade of experience and success behind us, we want to share our personal journey and provide you with a few pearls of wisdom, to help other bakers achieve their dreams of becoming professional entrepreneurs in the cake baking industry. 

For the past year and a half, our sell-out Cake Baking and Decorating Diploma has taken bakers just like you through the important fundamentals of cake creation – from cake baking and decorating to specific design techniques. At Rosalind Miller, we’re now going a step further by breaking down some of those fundamentals into smaller, more digestible cake-sized chunks.

As part of the Professional Master Diploma in baking and decorating, we are offering you an online class that you can take from the comfort of your own home, to learn the complete process of setting up and running your very own cake business.
