Experienced tutor in Cooking in Apex, Ruth offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

She can meet students at their skill level. She is so patient with her students . I especially like that Ruth wanted ideas of the types.of decorating we wanted to learn and incorporated those designs in our week of class. She makes class fun too! I would definitely take more classes by Ruth!

She demonstrated each step we would be doing and helped us individually as needed.

Ruth is a talented, skilled cake designer/artist and baker with whom I had the privilege of taking an extensive cake baking and decorating class. I appreciate that as a teacher she is well organized and communicates precise learning points in a way that students understand and she compiled a thorough class syllabus loaded with instructions and teaching points for future reference. Ruth has an authentic style and is highly skilled with making beautiful edible sugar flowers on her cake designs. One of my favorite things I learned about working with Ruth is her earnest desire to satisfy and clearly understand what her clients really want and like when they are placing custom orders for special occasion cakes such as for weddings, anniversaries or holidays.

Instruction was very clear and easy to follow, and Ruth also provided us with written materials that are invaluable. She shared so many helpful hints! I learned so much more than I expected to.
Projects were well-planned to give students practice in the skills we were learning while encouraging us to be creative in our use of them.
Ruth was a wonderful teacher—knowledgeable, personable, kind, very well prepared and endlessly patient. I loved her class—she completely changed my attitude towards cake decorating!

I have never decorated a cake before but have always wanted to learn. Ruth was so organized with her lesson plans. She had bright purple notebooks for us with recipes and a detailed schedule for the week. She taught us the tricks of the trade and I now feel fully confident in my cake-decorating skills. I had a wonderful time and haven't stopped baking cakes since. It was such a fun week! I would highly recommend her class to anyone looking to get into cake baking and decorating.

I recently took a week long class with Ruth Drennan Cakes, and it was an amazing experience. We learned so much about the art of cake decorating; from buttercream to sugar flowers. Ruth is an amazing teacher that can really help develop students of any level in a fun filled and creative environment.
