Seven students…seven good reasons to do Lindy’s Introduction to Celebration cakes…

1. Debbie: “I have never done sugarcraft cakes before but my son is getting married in one month and he wants me to ice the wedding cake!! Argh!!”
2. Verity: “I am getting married next year and I would like to make my own cake…even though everyone thinks I am mad!!”
3. Geraldine, who travelled over from Ireland

This course is one of our most treasured workshops…a perennial favorite… the planting of a seed, so to speak!  It’s great to get back to basics, we never tire of it.  Students arrive with none or very little knowledge of sugarcraft. Some have dabbled in covering cakes, some have done quite a few. We find that most students are self taught and for many this will be their first professional… Continue reading

In sugarcraft you just have to know the basics. It’s what turns your cake from something OK to something rather special.  This ‘beginners’ workshop is a wonderful platform for learning, and it’s a really good idea to have someone teach you the basics in a class setting.  You learn so much in a day, there are lots of little tips that make a huge difference to the quality of your finished cake… it is worth… Continue reading

Our spring workshops are well under way, and no set of cake class themes would be complete without the Introduction to Celebration Cakes. This is the ultimate course for the novice sugarcrafter. It is basic cake covering at it’s best, the humble beginnings of sugarcrafting. For if you can master this then you really are on the way to being able to create super cakes with sugarpaste!

It was… Continue reading

I love the beginners workshops because I feel I am amongst friends! I started working for Lindy’s Cakes six weeks ago so I too am on a huge learning curve with sugarcrafting. What is fabulous about the ‘introduction’ or ‘beginners’ classes is how much the students learn in a day. They arrive full of enthusiasm and a touch of apprehension. They leave with an armful of knowledge, a sense of… Continue reading

One space has just become avaialable on our “Introduction To Celebration Cakes” beginners Workshop this Friday.  The workshop starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm, and is held at Aston Clinton Baptist Church Hall near Aylesbury Bucks.

Here are  just a couple of comments from students on our last “Intro” workshop. “I am so excited I can’t eat my lunch”!   AND  “I’ve learnt so much in… Continue reading

‘This is the perfect day out’ remarked a student on this ever popular novelty cake course. The cat cake is an excellent course for the beginner to intermediate sugarcrafter. Lindy got things started by getting the students to cover their cake boards. The ladies used lovely shades of pinks & purples, the perfect background for a white cat! Then the fun really begins with the carving and shaping of the cat… Continue reading

Eight keen students embarked on their introduction to celebration cakes workshop and eight fabulous cakes were created! Lindy got things underway by introducing the students to sugarpaste. She did a taste test of four different makes of sugarpastes to show how they can differ and to see which one the ladies liked the best. She then moved on to the covering of the board with sugarpaste to give a professional finish.

Lindy talked about… Continue reading
