Welcome to our amazing world of sugarcraft and cake decoration
I’ve just calculated that its only 7 weeks until I start my trip down under to the 15th National Seminar of AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CAKE DECORATORS’ ASSOCIATION INC. at the Citigate Central Hotel, Thomas St, Sydney. How exciting!
I’ve also just learnt that day passes are now available, so if you’d like to come and see me in action but a week away is simply… Continue reading
We’ve just launched our autumn workshop programme; details are on the classes page on our website. We hope you like our selection. I’m always being asked about covering ball cakes so I’ve added a new course to help you learn this useful skill. So how do you fancy joining me to create this Christmas bauble cake? I’m looking forward to it already!
As part of the extras on my recently launched cake decorating DVDs , there is a small section where I have a chat with a wonderful wedding planner called Tammy Wilson. Tammy is an amazing person – I thought I was organised but now I know that to a few, like Tammy, it is an art at which they simply excel!

As many of you may know I am demonstrating at the National Cake Seminar in Sydney in August, so I thought a little background research would be good….. a great excuse to eat lots of chocolate!
I’ve tried three recipes – I’m aware that UK ingredients… Continue reading

For most students, covering and decorating a cake was a completely new experience, so they had a lot to learn.
As you can see below, they all did really well. The morning was… Continue reading

Friday’s cake jewellery class was all about learning new jewellery cake techniques. It was the first time I’d taught this particular class, based on new jewellery techniques demonstrated in my cake jewellery gems dvd. So both the students and I were learning but as you can see from the photos below, they all did really well.
During the day we concentrated on creating abstract flowers and cake jewellery… Continue reading
It’s been a huge task but we done it! – So thank you everyone who pitched in. So much paperwork to organise, DVDs to pack, sacks of parcels to fill etc. – A bit of a marathon but we’ve almost got to the end, as I write it’s just the despatch notes to send….
This means that my DVDs will start arriving through your letterboxes… Continue reading
I’ve had some great feedback regards the wonky cake dvd snippets I uploaded yesterday, so thank you…..but there’s more….here is the taster for the cake jewellery DVD. The running time of the dvd itself is 135 minutes on disc one plus extras of 24 minutes on disc two, this clip is only just over 7 minutes long so it only contains a very small fraction of the overall material… Continue reading
