STUDENT REVIEWS
- Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
I took a private class with Chef Benny a few years back. It was a great experience. He shared a lot of tips and details with me. I wish I could attend another class with him again.
- Aachen, Germany
I have taken two workshops with Chef Benny and couldn't have wished for a better teacher. In such a short time, I have learned so much. I bake professionally and thanks to him my skill levels have increased quickly. I'm already looking forward to the next workshop.
- New York, USA
I really enjoyed Chef Benny's workshops. It forced me to experiment and challenge myself to "step out of the cake decorating box" and learn advanced techniques without intimidation!
- Sydney, Australia
Chef Benny is a true artist and it has been awesome to learn some amazing techniques and master cake designs I never though possible under his expert guidance. His talents are truly awe inspiring and he makes even a hobby caker like muyself achive such amazing results, and all with his enigmatic fun and flair! Love Chef Benny!
