A Wonky Cake Workshop Feb 2011

If there is one cake that epitomises Lindy’s creative style it’s the Wonky Cake.  It features on our logo, it gets the most ‘oohhhs’ and ‘ahhhhs’ when on display at cake shows,  it even stars in it’s own DVD ‘Lindy’s Wonky Celebration Cakes‘  This is surely Lindy’s ‘celebrity’ cake and we love it!

Cakefriends, today was a ‘Wonky’ workshop day and what a super day it was… Continue reading

Bellissimo bags: CAKE CARVING CLASS IN ROME

My last class in Rome and it was full of students from all corners of Italy – Sardinia, Scilly, Milan, Florence, Venice etc. Day three is always easier as everyone knows the ropes. We were using Madeira cakes, which are very different to the cream filled cakes that most Italians are used to. But the samples that we passed around proved popular, so much so, that I kept noticing students… Continue reading

Handbag Workshop: September 2010

This is the workshop where food meets fashion…couture meets cakes…sugarpaste meets style!  This is our second handbag workshop and judging by the feedback and interest this course has evoked it will remain on our programe for some time!  Lindy loves fashion and is very interested in design. Every day she arrives at the office with either a design idea, an object that has inspired her or a photograph of something… Continue reading

Floral Heart – ‘Learn & Laugh’ class

Love is in the air… a love of sugarcraft that is! We have had the most wonderful day at Lindy’s Floral Heart Cake workshop today, and I can vouch for this because today I became one of Lindy’s students!  I am nicknaming this particular class the ‘Learn & Laugh’ class because it was an absolute hoot!  There was such a lovely atmosphere today, which is powerfully conducive to learning

A Wonky Workshop in May

It’s Wonky time again! Yet another sell-out workshop!  Lindy’s trademark cake leans majestically for all to see, for this cake never fails to inspire and impress. What a great class today, a really enthusiastic group of students with super ideas and a colourful approach to this iconic cake! This is the course that takes you to another level with carving. The pace starts fairly slowly as Lindy guides you carefully… Continue reading

Floral Heart Cake Workshop

This is quite simply the most perfect cake for Mother’s Day! Originally designed by Lindy, this heart shaped cake with pale pink and yellow sugarpaste and decorated with daisies and flowers will definately impress.  A really pretty cake that is perfect for Mother’s day, a celebration or a birthday cake. It also makes a lovely little girls cake… as I discovered from my 4 yr old neice ‘ I love… Continue reading

Wonky Workshop February 2010

 

 

It’s the ultimate cake course, the one that many followers of Lindy’s work aspire to…… to carve or not to carve – that is the question!

What a great day this Wonky class had. Lindy and the team were able to move through the stages of this course quite quickly because the students attending were competant sugarcrafters. The wonky cake is not a beginners cake, it takes a good… Continue reading

Whale Novelty Cake Workshop

Today I had a day off work to attend one of Lindys courses, today I made a whale cake, today I got totally hooked on sugarcrafting, today it all made sense! There’s no going back!  Having said to Lindy that even if my whale turned out like a blue blob my little boys would love it, I have actually come home with, if I may say so myself, a rather fabulous… Continue reading

Novelty cat cake carving class

“I feel really chuffed” and “I’m definitely coming back, I’ve learnt so much” were a couple of the comments from last Fridays novelty cake carving class. For many of the students it was the first time they had ever carved a cake so at first it was all a little daunting….however once I’d showed them in simple steps how it’s done, they were more than eager to get on with… Continue reading
