Squires Kitchen International School, which has been teaching the art of cake decorating, baking and sugarcraft to students from all over the world since 1987, has been awarded the prestigious Independent Cookery Schools Association kite mark for teaching excellence. Set in a beautiful Georgian style building in the historic market town of Farnham, the school has an outstanding reputation as an internationally recognised seat of learning.

ICSA members are assessed and accredited to the highest standard so you can be confident that you are receiving the best teaching in a professional environment. The Independent Cookery Schools Association is the only independent, non-profit, regulatory body for cookery schools in the UK, awarding their seal of approval for clients and industries that have met their essential criteria, ensuring excellence as an educational training establishment.

If you already enjoy baking for friends and family, make 2016 the year you perfect your skills and take it to the next level with one of Squires Kitchen's new spring courses:

• Make a beautiful gift for Mother's Day! Join the new celebration cake class taking place on 3rd and 4th March where you'll learn how to make a two-tier cake complete with delicate decorative details of sugar bunting, blossoms and bows.
• Hosting a get-together over Easter? Then you won't want to miss the Bake and Decorate Biscuits: 3D Easter Bouquet class on Monday 21st March. Find out how to perfect this clever technique with royal icing expert, Tessa Whitehouse.

This exclusive class with professional florist, Ayako Saida, and her unique urban style will teach you the essentials for fresh flower arranging on cakes including all the food safety information you need to know.
• And if you're new to sugarcraft, how about a taster course with the new Sunday Workshops? Join expert tutors every last Sunday of the month for three-hour workshops which offer a fantastic chance to get hands-on introductions to popular cake decorating, baking and sugarcraft topics.
