Classes for 2016

Because of the number of people who have been e-mailing, calling and coming into the shop asking for more classes, we have decided to start off 2016 with a couple of good all round useful classes...one is baking basics, leveling, filling and covering a cake with buttercream.  The second is all about decorative techniques where I will be sharing lots of cake decorating secrets.  Of course I will let you know where you can purchase everything you need to get cracking in your own home.

Book early, there are not many places available and so far these are the only two classes booked for 2016!

Cake Decorating Lessons

Did you know we also offer cake decorating lessons and we have a Guild for Cake Decorators?

If you are a professional cake decorator or have never tried your hand but think you'd like to try, we have something for everyone. Our classes are small and friendly enrol for a one class lesson or a four week course, get a group of at least six friends and we will set up a class just for you!

1st May, 2009

It's been the most hectic week, with last minute orders and last minute changes including a huge cake for the Montessori School's 10 Anniversary at Carmens Banquet centre.

All the cakes this week have been larger and more labour intensive than most cakes that I do, which is quite a challenge and very enjoyable but regretably my photographer has swanned off to Europe and can't take any decent shots of them!  I will have to make do with whatever my camera produces and these cakes will forever be like the famous fishing story....larger than life!

Hand Painted Sunflowers

This cheerful autumnal sun flower cake was hand painted using edible paints for a colourful and stunning statement. Finished with rafia this cake has a strong harvest feel and look.
