FAQs – CakeFlix Membership

Getting Started



We have  over 100000 cake decorating video lessons available for you to watch 24/7 online from your computer, laptop, tablet or phone.

You join as a member for either £9.95/$16 per month (you can cancel anytime) or you can save money with an annual membership.

We also have an Individual Purchase option, which allows you to purchase tutorials individually and have access to them for life!

As long as you are a member you will have access to all of our courses, we release one full and new course each week (sometimes a series of cupcakes and sometimes a five tier wedding cake!). We have courses from beginner to advanced through a range of different styles, from 3D teddy bear cakes to beautiful chocolate wrap cakes.


If you have a question about a recipe, perhaps a tool you might need to complete a course or you even just want an opinion on the best methods to use. We suggest popping over to our Q&A section of the site where like minded members will share their views and opinions and usually help you get the answers you want.

You can visit the Q&A by clicking here, as silly as the question might seem this may also go on to help members in the future that have the same enquiry.


Absolutely! You can browse our entire library and check out a preview video and some images of each finished cake. We never remove any content from the site, except to upgrade it, so you will always be able to come back to view a course as many times as you want or browse our entire course history, 24/7. Currently, we have a library of over 300 complete courses that range from beginner to advanced.


Absolutely! We’re extremely conscious here at the School of making sure that every single one of our members are catered for. We release one course per week and every one of those courses varies in style, skill level and the time it takes to recreate. We’ve been going for a while now, so we have a huge backlog of courses from beginner to advanced ranging from cupcakes and sugar models through to five tier wedding cakes that retail for £££’s and of course, everything in between.

Paul’s teaching style has seen him become a hugely popular tutor in the cake decorating world. Why? Because he makes every detail in every lesson accessible and easy to follow. Even in our most advanced courses, Paul starts from the very basic part of the cake and we follow him right through to the final product, everything is filmed when we create a new course and we don’t remove any part of the footage, even when Paul or a guest makes a mistake as you will learn more by watch them fix their mistake rather than have us edit it out.


At least one new course is added each week and as a member, you will have complete access to it. We are constantly looking to expand the library with courses, blog posts, tips and tricks from guest tutors as well as Paul Bradford.

If you have just paid for your membership and after logging in can’t seem to access any courses, there are a couple of scenarios below where this can happen:

  • When signing up did you create a new account? In some cases members create a new account upon signup, make sure you’re logging into the new account that you’ve created and not an older free account that might be associated with your email address. If you’re stuck and not sure what you’re username is get in touch and we’ll resolve the problem quickly.
  • In some rare cases a payment will initially go through and subsequently fail validation with our payment gateway, in these rare situations you may even receive a confirmation email stating your payment was successful, in this situation you have not been charged but of course get in touch so we can find an alternate means of payment to offer.

If you find yourself without access but are confident that payment was successful, let us know by clicking here to email us and we will work hard to resolve the problem.

If you have any issues at all with video playback, we would firstly suggest you try the following :

If you have a slow internet connection then you may experience difficulty in viewing the courses. Try pausing the video for a few minutes to allow it to ‘buffer’. To check if your internet connection is slower than it should be, click here.

You can also try right clicking on the video and selecting ‘224p‘ this will lower the video quality making playback smoother on slower connections / computers.

Remember if you’re on a slower connection or shared connection, activity on other connected devices (including games consoles and smartphones) can slow your connection down and can sometimes cause video playback to suffer.

If that doesn´t help then try the following:

  • Clearing the history/cache in your preferred browser. Does this improve playback? If not…
  • Try switching to a different browser altogether.
  • This last one’s not always easy, but can prove very useful. If possible, try watching the videos on a different network, like on a mobile device connected to a cellular network. Any major differences?

If you are still having difficulties with video playback, please get in touch with our technical support and we will get you back up and running.

Attended Courses

Paul Bradford Courses


Yes! We run a few attended courses throughout the year, taught directly by Paul Bradford.  Paul runs a variety of courses catering for everyone from beginner to advanced and at many different locations. Take a look at our Attended Courses page for some more information on the school and the courses we offer.

We have loads of different courses, from 1 day to a full week of intensive training and even Train the Trainer courses that will empower you to design and create your own cakes in your own style. Head on over to our Attended Courses page to see the courses we have on offer at the moment.

We put new courses on all the time but due to Paul´s ever increasing workload there aren’t as many as we’d like, and based on the popularity on these courses, there aren’t as many as you’d like either! So, if there’s not a course on around the dates that you’re looking for, then get in touch and we’ll see what we can do. Paul also offers one to one training that can be tailored specifically to you and your needs. Be quick though, our Attended Courses sell out super fast!
