Lindy will show you the technique of covering a ball cake and achieving a professional finish. Lindy teach you how to use silicone moulds to create stunning flowers. These moulds come in many sizes, shapes and styles so you will have lots of time to experiment and create a stunning floral display for your cake.
Our workshops are fun, informative and supportive. You will be taught by Lindy herself who is recognised as one of the most exciting contemporary experts in sugarcraft. We pride ourselves on our ability to make our students feel at ease and encouraged, giving assistance where needed and space when not. You will end the day having created your very own Pretty Flower Posy cake and will have gained valuable sugarcraft knowledge, techniques and tips for use in all aspects of your sugarcraft.
