Cake Decorating Courses

I have been baking and decorating cakes for over 30 years from novelty birthday cakes to stunning multi-tiered wedding cakes. I also specialise in Belgian Chocolate cakes. My cakes are frequently featured in Wedding Cake a Design Source and other UK top wedding and sugarcraft magazines.

After receiving many, many requests asking if I would consider teaching I have started to hold cake decorating workshops from my home just outside York.

These are very friendly laid back classes - we have a lot of fun and I try my best to move at your pace never wishing to rush anyone.

So far I have covered:

• Cupcakes - making Italian Meringue Butter cream and how to make those fab swirls, covering cupcakes with sugarpaste, using texture mats and tools. How to use moulds to decorate your cakes.
• Beginners Workshop - Learn how to marzipan and sugapaste your cake professionally - Students who have never iced a cake in their life have gone home happy with their smooth straight cakes.
