This article was originally on GET.com at: 5 Best Places Where You Can Learn To Bake Instagram-Worthy Desserts

Are you a fan of desserts and sweet treats? There are plenty of hipster cafes in Singapore but not all of them dish out food and desserts that taste as good as they look. And they can be rather overpriced, too. If you, like me, would rather have your desserts before your appetizers and main courses, perhaps it'll be worth your time and money to attend baking classes where you will get to learn the tips and tricks to crafting these oh-so-pretty and absolutely delicious treats.

With the know-how up your sleeves, you can bake your own treats and save some money in the long run, don't you agree? Here, we at GET.com put together this list of 5 places where you can learn to make Instagram-worthy desserts that score equally high on the palate. Ahem, you can have your cake and eat it, too.
