Lindy’s Cakes Blog

Cupcakes, cupcakes and more cupcakes – they seem to be everywhere I turn!!! I have always made and decorated cupcakes but I first came across cupcakes in large numbers when teaching in Australia last summer. Everywhere I visited seemed to have a cupcake shop just round the corner!

She then moved on to the covering of the board with sugarpaste to give a professional finish.

I’m now home after my Australian cake adventure …. however I have lots of pictures, thoughts, tips and ideas from my travels to share with you all.  To get the ball rolling I’m starting with the second workshop I taught at Iced Affair in Sydney – the novelty cake carving class.

This cake was designed, literally, on the back of an envelope, whilst talking to my publishers on… Continue reading
