Starting out with simple cakes, biscuits and cupcakes, once you have mastered this first level, Mich provides you with a few extra steps to turn these into fabulous creations.

- Layer cakes - Concoct a true show stopper with delicious and enticing layers, with recipes including red velvet cake with a white chocolate mirror glaze, strawberry shortcake floral stacks and chocolate fondant cake with fresh roses.
- Celebration cakes - Create pièce de résistance for holidays, events and special occasions, from Halloween mini-rolls to Venetian easter eggs or a pirate piñata birthday cake.
