Using a portable webcam will also allow you to receive David’s creative guidance and personal support during your entire 1-to-1 live-streaming free-hand cake decorating training experience.

David will be teaching live online via state of the art technology equipment using superfast broadband connecting with you in 1080p high definition display resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, delivering sharp clean images to the internet.

In order for you to receive the best online training visual experience we strongly recommend you use a reliable service provider who offers a fast / superfast fibre broadband.

If your broadband is slow, the live-streaming will be affected and may pixilate or freeze, which would create frustration impairing your online training experience.

If your desktop/laptop device is connected direct to the internet via an ethernet connection (the optional yellow cable that can be connected from a router directly to a device) your internet signal will be even stronger than using wireless alone.

Should for any reason the internet connection goes offline, the class / course will resume either later on the same day or on another day to suit.
