Welcome to the Cake Halliday Online School, a place for cake artists and decorators looking to learn new and polish up on existing skills.

I'm Caroline Halliday and I'm delighted you're here.


I've always had a passion for anything arty or crafty. I stumbled into cakes a decade ago and have never looked back.


In a past life I was a chartered mechanical engineer designing aircraft engines, and I've brought all the precision needed for that profession with me into the caking world.

I specialise in fondant cakes with a pristine finish and a high degree of attention to detail, and I love taking photographs of my cakes just as much as making the cakes themselves.

My intention for this school is to share and teach my methods and I'd love to welcome you.

Student Testimonials

Edible fabric ruffle cake

"I've had the great pleasure to watch a number of Caroline's tutorials and I have loved every one. She is always generous with her knowledge and takes great care to answer comments and questions on Facebook live sessions and video tutorials. I consider her to be an amazingly talented lady with an enormous amount of knowledge, kindness and patience."

Lace stencil wedding cake
Carol McMenemy

"I've watched Caroline's video tutorials using various stencils now and every time am amazed at how easy and effortless she makes it look. This takes the fear away from using them myself, because her method works! Caroline's teaching style is calm, unhurried, inclusive and natural. She gives a positive vibe throughout and if something isn't quite right, she will calmly fix it so it's perfect. Caroline gives so many useful hints and tips throughout the tutorial, hints you just wouldn't find anywhere else. I would highly recommend."

Meringue kisses
Alain Maxwell Andrews

"Caroline is a true professional in her cake making and decorating skills and her work is meticulous. She works in a very logical fashion and her methods are tried and tested and carried out to an extremely high standard. She is also very personable and down to earth and delivers her tutorials in a friendly, outgoing honest way being very clear, concise and pragmatic. She teaches in a warm and gentle way that calms you and helps you to learn. This all makes her tutorials easy to follow and she delivers it in a way where you can transform your skills. I was stunned, after never having made meringue kisses before, how well mine turned out following Caroline's easy step by step tutorials. Caroline's work and methods are also unique, and she is not regurgitating methods already in the market. Her ways are original and very well executed so you can really learn a lot from her."
