Welcome to our amazing world of sugarcraft and cake decoration
I heard on the grapevine last week that my Pink Fizz cake jewellery cake was on the cover of Cake Craft and Decoration magazine this month, still not received my copy but I can confirm that it is on the cover – Looks great doesn’t it?

As part of the extras on my recently launched cake decorating DVDs , there is a small section where I have a chat with a wonderful wedding planner called Tammy Wilson. Tammy is an amazing person – I thought I was organised but now I know that to a few, like Tammy, it is an art at which they simply excel!

It’s been a huge task but we done it! – So thank you everyone who pitched in. So much paperwork to organise, DVDs to pack, sacks of parcels to fill etc. – A bit of a marathon but we’ve almost got to the end, as I write it’s just the despatch notes to send….
This means that my DVDs will start arriving through your letterboxes… Continue reading
I’ve had some great feedback regards the wonky cake dvd snippets I uploaded yesterday, so thank you…..but there’s more….here is the taster for the cake jewellery DVD. The running time of the dvd itself is 135 minutes on disc one plus extras of 24 minutes on disc two, this clip is only just over 7 minutes long so it only contains a very small fraction of the overall material… Continue reading
Just returned from a visit to the DVD duplication company – it’s another world! We were given a guided tour and were informed that they are the UK leading DVD duplicating company - I can see why, all very impressive!
We were taken through the various rooms where all the different processes happen. The most impressive was the litho printers in action, this is how my discs are… Continue reading
I know some of you are eagerly waiting for my DVDs to arrive – not long to go now! They are currently in the process of being duplicated so I thought I’d treat you to a preview of the covers. I’m really pleased with them – hope you like them too.

There is something a little bizarre about watching yourself over and over again on film!!! But this is exactly what I’ve been doing over the last few days. The interview section is an extra on my DVDs but even so I want it to look right. I must say that after the fourth time of viewing I’m a little fed up with all the “ums” but having listened to the… Continue reading
Not long to wait now! I know some of you are very eager to see the DVD’s so I’ll give you a realease date as soon as I can. A few of you have told us that you were a little disappointed to read in the Lindy’s Cakes May Newsletter yesterday that my DVDs will not be ready until June. However this is only a 2 week delay and… Continue reading
Yesterday I took the main cake jewellery cakes from my cake jewellery gems DVD to be professionally photographed. It was such a lovely day that we decided to create a lifestyle shot of one of the cakes and enjoy the sunshine at the same time….lovely! Getting set up always takes ages. Here is Vicki in action, ascertaining the best angle to shoot from.

Well at long last I’ve found a few spare hours to add my exciting new sugarcraft cutters to our online shop. The cutters were all designed to help me decorate the new cakes that will appear in my DVD’s shortly. I’ve loved using them so I hope you find them inspirational too.
There are 4 new sets which have a myriad of uses… Continue reading
My wonky style cake classes have always been very popular; they are also ones of my favourite classes to teach. Students arrive not really knowing what to expect and go home having learnt not only how to carve and cover my signature style cakes but also armed with lots of tips and ideas to help them decorate their own cakes. Friday’s class was no exception; as usual we had a… Continue reading
How exciting – I’ve just seen the rough cut of my cake jewellery DVD! The film company say it’s “…..a bit like offering a taste of a cake before its even half cooked” but who doesn’t like raw cake mixture? I certainly have enjoyed seeing the ‘half baked’ DVD – just me in action, no graphics, music or cake close ups! It’s been very reassuring to… Continue reading
I’m very pleased to announce that both my wonky cake and cake jewellery DVD’s are now available to pre-order. As regular readers of this blog will know, filming was very successful, see previous posts for details. I’m now told by the production company that the 19 hours of tape that the 3 camera shot has been digitised, so it’s now onto the creative and exciting process of editing……I
Thank you to everyone who took the time and effort to enter our cake DVD title competition. We loved reading through your all suggestions, some of them were very clever, some made us laugh, quite a few were inspired by Roald Dahl – ‘Wonky Cake Factory’ or other books – ‘Jewels in the Crown’, for the cake jewellery DVD title there was quite a bit of
