This is back-to-basics stuff but as Lindy is quick to point out “even if you have many covered cakes before this class will help you achieve that sometimes elusive professional finish”.
I am writing this blog ‘live’ sitting amongst our 10 lovely students. We had such good feed-back from… Continue reading
As many of you know, I’m currently addicted to cake stencils….no seriously I am, I simply can’t seem to get enough of them. They are so easy to use and so versatile, whether you use them to subtly emboss your sugarpaste or to make bold statements on the top of your cakes or anything in between.

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

The easiest way to use is stencils is on a flat surface, however once you have practised a few times then you can also stencil on the side… Continue reading
