Cake missing in action…I apologise!

My sincere apologies go to Verity, one of our students on our Friday workshop, because I left her cake out of the photograph on our blog yesterday.

Cutwork Mini Cakes Workshop

If there’s one style that, to me at least, epitomises Lindy’s style it’s ‘cutwork’. The iconic ‘cutwork’ wonky cake is,  in my opinion, her finest example. Take this concept one step further… a mini ‘cutwork’ cake and voila you have something quite special indeed! I love little cakes. Dainty and pretty. Perfect for one or two… sometimes you just don’t want a big cake.  As we tighten our belts and… Continue reading

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.

The pace starts fairly slowly as Lindy guides you carefully… Continue reading

Celebration Cakes Workshop – April 2010

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

Spring Cookies 2010 Workshop

Spring is in the air! Ok, well… it may not feel like spring outside but visually it’s all around us. Trees are bursting into fresh green bud, daffodils are showing their sunny faces and, if you live in country, the bleeting of lambs can be heard! I am ready for spring, it’s been a long grey old winter and some colour and light is extremely welcome. Lindy loves

Christmas Mini Cakes Workshop

Good things come in small packages… this is how I feel about the Christmas Mini Cake workshop! What a treat… what a fabulous idea. And, as per usual, they are amazing in true ‘Lindy Smith’ style. Continuing our Christmas workshop theme, these little beauties did not dissappoint. It was a bitterly cold day but we were cosily tucked up inside our wonderful village hall which was bursting with a festive… Continue reading
