FAQ

  • Who is this module for?

    This module is for anyone with an interest in baking and that might be keen to take on a slightly more advanced challenge by creating macarons.

  • Do I need to own the CBC Foundational Module or any other CBC Online Learning Modules to understand this module?

    While all the modules in the 'Cakes By Cliff Online Course' are designed to work together, you do not need to own the 'CBC Foundational Module: Buttercream Wedding Cakes' or any other of my online learning modules to buy this one and understand the contents within.

    It is an independent module that does not assume any prior knowledge taken from any other of my online learning modules.

    It was created to be a stand-alone learning experience, complete with all the reference guides (including full recipes, utensil list and ingredients list), video tutorials and trouble shooting questions required to successfully complete it and succeed independently to any of the other learning modules in my online course.

  • How is this module delivered?

    This is a self-paced and self-directed module with plenty of downloadable PDFs of content, and videos divided into helpful sections to help you jazz up your Christmas / Holiday table. Additionally, you can independently adjusted each character/design slightly so that they remain relevant throughout the year, well beyond Christmas.

    You are in control of when and where you take the module and how fast (or slow) you want to run with it.

    Once you purchase the module you will get instant life-time access and all future updates to it.

  • Will this module be updated regularly?

    I am always open to feedback about my online course modules and will regularly evaluate the content to ensure it is as relevant as possible. Having said that, in my experience, this particular module has few areas of focus that are likely to rapidly change or become out of date.

    I endeavour to check the modules every quarter for relevancy and accuracy and will update as required. Any updates that are made and uploaded will be announced via my website (www.cakesbycliff.com) and all enrolled students will automatically receive them.

  • What is the refund policy on this module?

    Please make your purchasing decision carefully as all sales are final.

    MyKim is a self-taught Sydney based home-baker specialising in custom macarons of all shapes colours and sizes.

    Baking was always a much loved hobby, and not realising how difficult macarons were supposed to be, I thought I'd make some for my son one day. Luckily, they worked out magnificently (I've had many failures in between though) and people encouraged me to start making them for gatherings and family events.

    Arelio is a name derived from the TWO loves of my life, my children: Ariel and Emilio. We have been an officially launched business since August 2014 and to many people’s amazement I still work as an Aged Care Physiotherapist because of my love for helping others, whilst still taking custom orders for macaron jobs as well. It can be difficult to maintain a good work-life balance but it does help that you absolutely LOVE and have a passion for what you are doing.

    In the last few years, I have brought my teaching to the forefront releasing an instructional video and teaching group classes in Sydney as well as an invitation to teach in Surabaya, Indonesia. Aside from the baking, my dream would be to travel the world and possibly combine this one day with macaron teaching in all continents near and far.
