Looking back… Lindy was inspired by her own wedding cake to take the first steps towards establishing herself as a ‘name’ in the cake world. From humble beginnings in her home kitchen, she experimented with the techniques she had learnt. She soon discovered that sugar was the perfect medium through which to express her creative abilities and original ideas. In 1997 Lindy entered her first competition and much to her own amazement, received 3 gold awards. In 1998 she started writing regular features for “Cakes and Sugarcraft Magazine” which she continued to do for about three years. Her first cake decorating book ‘Hobby Cakes’ was published in 2000. She has continued to write books ever since, loving the freedom it gives her to be highly creative and original.

Lindy’s Cakes became a limited company in 2003, the business at the time was growing in 3 directions;  wedding cakes, on-line mail order and her BSG demonstrations. In early 2005 Lindy started to hold workshops locally. These proved to be highly successful  and continue to be so today. Lindy’s workshops are now held in all corners of  the globe, the most recent in Australia.
