This is a fun activity in Manchester
Spend 90 minutes creating something truly special in the heart of Vanilla Ice Cakes – our welcoming Manchester shop where you'll design, decorate, and customise your own bento cake with expert guidance every step of the way. Whether you're marking a birthday, celebrating a hen do, catching up with your best mate, or simply taking some well-deserved time out for yourself, this masterclass is designed to be a brilliant, stress-free creative escape.
Here's what makes it so special: we've done all the hard work for you. The baking, the prep, the mess – that's all on us. What you get is the pure joy of decorating. You'll arrive at our shop to find freshly baked sponges waiting, professional decorating tools at hand, and a friendly, knowledgeable teacher ready to show you exactly how to bring your vision to life. No previous experience needed – whether you're a confident baker or you've never decorated anything before, you'll feel supported and inspired the whole way through.
Over 90 minutes, you'll learn techniques, explore colour combinations, add personal touches, and create a one-of-a-kind bento cake that's entirely yours. It's hands-on, it's creative, and honestly, it's such a feel-good way to spend an afternoon. You'll leave with your custom cake to take home (and since a standard bento cake normally costs £25 on its own, your £55 ticket is brilliant value – it covers your finished cake, the full experience, drinks, snacks, and all materials).
We cap our public sessions at 10 guests maximum, so you'll always get plenty of space and personal attention. We're open Tuesday to Sunday, making it easy to find a time that works for you – and if you're planning something bigger for a special occasion, you can book the shop exclusively for 10 or more guests.
Suitable for ages 16+.
