Cake Decorating Classes & Private Parties
Fun, beginner-friendly cake decorating classes in Rochester, MN—perfect for learning new skills and making something sweet.
A Love for Baking, Passed On
My father was a mentor to me throughout my baking journey.
He helped me believe that creating beautiful, intricate cakes was a skill that anyone could learn with the right encouragement and practice. Because of that experience, I truly believe that with a little guidance, support, and time to practice, anyone can learn to create stunning cakes.
My goal in teaching classes is to share that same sense of possibility with others. Whether you dream of becoming a skilled cake decorator or simply want to spend a fun and creative afternoon trying something new, cake and cupcake decorating is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
These classes are designed to be welcoming, relaxed, and inspiring—so you can learn something new, connect with others, and leave feeling proud of what you created.

“The girls had the best time laughing, decorating, and showing off their creations. It was such a fun atmosphere, and I loved seeing how proud they were of their cakes.
We had such a wonderful experience with Rush of Sweetness for my daughter’s 15th birthday. Alysha led a cake decorating party for 10 girls, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better.
Before the party, Alysha took the time to work directly with my daughter to design a cake she truly loved. That meant so much to her and made the whole experience feel really personal and special.
The day of the party was completely stress-free for me because Alysha brought everything, all the supplies, tools, cake decorations, literally everything. She handled it all so smoothly. The girls had the best time laughing, decorating, and showing off their creations. It was such a fun atmosphere, and I loved seeing how proud they were of their cakes. They even had photo shoots after with their cakes for their social media!
What I appreciate most is that it was such an easy party idea for me, but so memorable for them. The girls were still talking about it weeks later, which says it all. This will definitely be a tough birthday to top!
I would absolutely recommend Rush of Sweetness to anyone looking for something creative, fun, and unique. Alysha made it so special.
