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.

Decorating cookies is always so much fun and Friday’s class was no exception.

The cookies that we decorated were all inspired by summer so first up was a pair of flip flops - there are so many possibilities with these, but as this was the first cookie everyone was to decorate I kept the… Continue reading
Well I think a very enjoyable day was had by all on Friday’s cheeky chimp cake carving workshop. I certainly enjoyed helping all the students achieve a cake that they were proud to take home.
The class was to introduce the students to the art of carving cake, something that many feel frightened of even attempting!
The students had been asked to bake a cake using my chocolate… Continue reading
