We hope you like our new approach, do let us know what you think…but now back to stencilling…… Continue reading

Here we go again! Lindy’s ‘Introduction to Celebration Cakes’ workshop is so popular we decided we just had to run it again. Nine eager students, nine naked cakes ready for the Lindy Smith treatment!
This is the most fabulous course for the beginner sugarcrafter. It is basic cake covering at it’s best, the humble beginnings of sugarcrafting, and that’s exactly where Lindy starts. Her ’back to basics’ approach works equally… Continue reading
Such is the interest in Lindy’s approach to her work that she has created a collection of technique workshops. We trialled them last season and by popular demand have kept them on our Autumn workshop programme. I have a feeling they are here to stay!
The focus today was on patterning paste. Lindy’s love of colour, her eye catching colour combinations and her pattern designs are getting a lot… Continue reading
Yay… our Autumn Winter collection of workshops have started ! ‘Introduction to celebration cakes’ is one of my favorite classes because our students arrive with a basic knowledge of sugarcraft, sometimes not even that, and leave with a beautifully covered cake and a pocketful of hints & tips. Lindy has perfected the step-by-step style of teaching ensuring that each step is manageable, not overwhelming, and that you have time to… Continue reading

The workshop team at Lindy’s Cakes all love Fridays, it’s our chance to have a little fun and to inspire our students to have as much pleasure from cake decorating as we do!!

This was an eagerly anticipated workshop by Lindy and the workshop team, and we weren’t disappointed. The new Lindy Smith ‘Kissing Ball Cake’ workshop was an absolute joy! The ‘Kissing Ball Cake’ idea is based on the Victorian wedding tradition of hanging handmade balls of flowers in archways, doorways or outdoors. They were also carried by flower girls at weddings. Lindy based her own design on this traditional floral arrangement… Continue reading
