We’ve got a name for students that do lots of courses with us…’Serial Workshoppers’! And I think I can safely say that Julie Marney is one of our most prolific workshoppers to date! We love a familliar face in our workshops because it’s like catching up with old friends. We enjoy building up a cake friendship with our students and Julie truly is a friend of Lindy’s Cakes!  … Continue reading

It’s official…Cupcake Mania is well under way … at Lindy’s Cakes at least… for today we held our second Cupcake class!  With Lindy’s much anticpated Cupcake book due out in September we know our cake fans are itching to get stuck into making sugarcraft Cupcakes. If you are able to attend one of Lindy’s workshops then you will be lucky enough to get a taster of what Cupcakes,  Lindy style, are all… Continue reading

Wahey we’re off to Squires!  I do love an exhibition and this particular one I have been looking forward to for some time. Having done the mega NEC extravaganza that is Cake International back in November, and survived, I felt well armed and ready for exhibition number two in my world!  Towards the end of the day I was able to go ‘walkabout’ to visit other exhibitors and view the… Continue reading

It’s the ultimate cake course, the one that many followers of Lindy’s work aspire to…… to carve or not to carve – that is the question!

What a great day this Wonky class had. Lindy and the team were able to move through the stages of this course quite quickly because the students attending were competant sugarcrafters. The wonky cake is not a beginners cake, it takes a good degree of carving and… Continue reading

We ended our 2009 workshop programme on a high today. A fabulous day creating cookies styled as christmas crackers, party frocks, party shoes and balloons.   We are feeling very festive here at Lindy’s Cakes. Even more so because myself and my colleague Sarah, from the mail-order team, had the day off real work today to be students in this class! Oh the perks of working for Lindy Smith… and before you ask… Continue reading

We are now well and truly into winter, but during the last few sunny days of autumn we ran a very successful autumn leaf inspired mini cake class and I just wanted to share with you some of the work that the students created.

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. They leave with an armful of knowledge, a sense of… Continue reading

It’s the big event in the diary of all Sugarcrafters! The Cake International Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham kicks off this weekend, 7th & 8th November. Lindy’s Cakes HQ is buzzing as we prepare for our 7th appearance at this prestigious event. We are building our biggest stand ever to showcase Lindy’s work and show you our fantastic products. Hours of preparation have gone into putting together a collection that… Continue reading

I’ve just calculated that its only 7 weeks until I start my trip down under to the 15th National Seminar of AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CAKE DECORATORS’ ASSOCIATION INC. at the Citigate Central Hotel, Thomas St, Sydney.  How exciting!

I’ve also just learnt that day passes are now available, so if you’d like to come and see me in action but a week away is simply… 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
