Cakey Bakey Art (Sugarcraft School)

Two spaces have become available in Sunday’s 2-Tier Vintage Celebration Cake class. This is the perfect class for absolute beginners and intermediate sugarcrafters alike as we will cover everything from levelling, filling, crumb-coating, making and applying ganache, sharp and chamfered edge fondant covering, supporting, stacking and transporting tiered cakes. We will also be creating an array of edible decorations including handmade wired and unwired flowers, ruffles, Garrett frills, edible lace and multi-tone moulded embellishments. Please see the calendar pages of the website if you fancy joining me for this, or any of my other classes. Www.cakeybakeyart.com

Thank you so much to everyone who suggested a name for the new class. I could have gone with so many of them but I love ‘Romance in Stone’ so HUGE thanks to Kerri Shaw. I have a small ‘thank-you gift’ for you which I’ll get to you when we’re back in the U.K.
Thank you again to everyone for taking part. There’s a chance I may use one of two of the other suggestions for some classes still to be announced, so keep your eyes peeled as there’ll be a gift for any I use. 💕

Managed to set up the lights and take a couple of pics of the concrete-effect cake with wired flowers for the new 2-day class. Now all I need is a name for the class. Any suggestions? Hmm, maybe I should offer a prize for the best suggestion. 🤔🤔

Not quite finished and still need to add the drum but pleased with it so far. Will take better pics in daylight.

Trying to match my fingers to my Christmas nail colour! 🙈😂
I’ll miss having long, colourful nails when I’m back at work so maybe I should start coulouring my fingers on a regular basis instead. 🤔😂

Busy making pomegranate and pumpkin seeds for one of this year’s new classes. Can’t wait to finish colouring the rest of the flowers and add them to the concrete-effect cake. Feeling so excited about the new 2019 Cakey Bakey Art classes. 💗

Well I’m delighted to say that 2018 has had considerably more ups than downs for me and my family, so I’m hoping for much more of the same as we enter the New Year. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your kindness during the tricky times and your continued, unwavering support. Here are just a few of the photos that have made me smile this year. Happy New Year my Cakey friends. 💗💗

So here’s what I’ve been doing since we returned to the U.K. last week. I absolutely loved making gorgeous little Elijah’s Christening cake - despite several sleepless nights and what seemed like the bumpiest delivery journey ever! 🙈😂😍

The results of around seven days work 😍

Finally finished and safely delivered the monster of a Christening cake I’ve been working on all week so I guess it’s time to find where I’ve hidden all the Christmas presents and get wrapping. I’ll share cake pics once the event has taken place and the lovely parents have shared their own pics. 😍

Just a quick reminder that Cakey Bakey Art gift vouchers are available as eVouchers to be printed off at home or presented as an electronic voucher. Available from £10, they make the perfect last-minute Christmas gift.

Flashback to last year when I made this cake for my Husband’s green-fingered Grandad Bill. We’re heartbroken to have received a call informing us of Grandad’s passing the day we landed here in Tenerife. Today we’re thinking of lovely Grandad Bill as we spend our final day in the sunshine before flying home tomorrow. Rest in peace, Grandad. You’re loved by so many. 💗💗

Heads up! Just look at this enormous collection of Sugarcraft items on eBay. What a fantastic Christmas gift for a budding sugarcrafter! 😍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/…/ENORMOUS-Colle ction-…/273608106822…

Catherine’s fabulous Christmas cake from today’s one-to-one class, using the Karen Davies Christmas Tree and Winter Village moulds. Inspired by Alice’s wonderful Cake Master’s tutorial. Loved having an excuse to play with royal icing today. 💕

Today’s Swiss Meringue Buttercream ❤️! Is there anything more satisfying than watching an enormous bowl of delicious silkiness come together? ❣️

This was an absolute amazing experience! My mum and I wanted to have a girly day out and Christina was absolutely fantastic! She had everything prepared for our day with lots of handy tips and took time and effort to make it an absolutely fantastic day out! Thank you!

This is my second review previous one seems to have disappeared.

I have now been going to Christina for over a year and learned many things, she is an excellent teacher, extremely patient and has given me the confidence I was lacking. An extremely talented lady, I enjoy going to her classes so much, she makes them fun and one always comes away with a beautiful creation. I have now become addicted. Very highly recommended

Spent a brilliant few hours with Christina on the exquisite cup cakes course. was brilliant - time flew by and everyone was easy to chat to, Christina was full of tips and very good at teaching us, she demo'd everything and helped when it came to the rest of us giving it a go. Can't wait to do another course, and can't recommend more highly! Be warned though, Christina doesn't push her shop but it is full of goodies and equipment you use in the class - so you know it works! I enjoyed post class spending LOL!

Me and Beth had a fab time today at your class, can't wait for the next one. Christina was fully hands on and gave lots of tips and tricks. A perfect way for mum and daughter time with great company learning lots of new things. Thank you Christina xxx

Just spent the weekend with Christina, learning a host of new skills; rolled roses, decoupage, sugar paper work and lots more. She was patient, highly skilled and keen to share. What a fabulous first experience of many. Thank you.

Just spent an amazing Masterclass Day here making the Top Hat Vintage Wedding Cake, Christina was full of information, patient & didn’t doubt that any of us couldn’t complete the cake. Already looking at my next day here, cannot recommend highly enough thank you so much 👍

I’ve just had an amazing day with Christina learning how to decorate the vintage cupcakes. Great support for a novice, really enjoyable time. I would highly recommend!

I went a few months ago! The class is great a warm and friendly atmosphere. I'll be booking again

I loved everything about the recent flower course I did with Christina. The fantastic teaching. The amazing knowledge. And let's not forget the biscuits!!!! I will be back very soon xx

I attended the wired sugar flowers workshop and have to say it was fabulous. Christina is a great teacher and nothing is too much trouble for her. I learnt so much and was so pleased with what I was able to produce from Christina's excellent tuition. Can't wait to attend another course and learn lots more.

I attended a 2 tier lustre ruffles and rose class this week. It was the first time I have been to this school. It was fantastic. Christina put you at ease straight away and I came away having learnt such a lot as well as creating a cake I was extremely pleased with. Well thought out, lots of hints and tips, everyone worked at their own pace and no pressure to rush anything if you were struggling. Excellent day out. Looking forward to the next one

Have had a fantastic 2 days, so relaxed warm and friendly atmosphere class room was large and airy and lots of room, fresh coffee and tea every flavour you could think of and I have learnt a lot, no questions was to much trouble. A class of 4 great cake friends, we all met up last year on a course, If anyone was thinking of booking go for it.



Will definitely be going again xx

Had the most lovely day learning cookies with Christina.

The learning space is amazing, such a nice environment to be in, we had every bit of equipment we needed, every little thing was thought of and catered for. Christina’s know,edge is second to none, I’m sure there is nothing she does not know as she has years of experience in sugarcraft, cake making and teaching. Thank you for a lovely day. I had a great day and learnt so much. Sarah (Julia Florence Cake Design) xxx

Had a great day yesterday making a camping cake - the day surpassed all my expectations. As complete beginners Christina guided us through all the stages professionally, demonstrating but letting us do everything ourselves so by the end of the day we each had a very presentable fun camp cake - much to our surprise. Really absorbing, excellent teaching and fun. Think we'll be back. Thanks. Elizabeth

Had a great day with Christina. Very patient and any question no matter how basic or more complex is answered so even an absolute beginner like myself understands. School room is lovely and lots of tools provided with an opportunity to buy as well so take a shopping bag. Lovely fresh coffee and biscuits provided

Had a fantastic day making vintage cupcakes. We covered so many techniques all in 1 day, will definitely be going back for another class. Christina is brilliant teacher.

Christina is the greatest teacher i have ever met, so helpful kind and knows everything there is to know about cakes and all aspects of decorating them. To have met Christina and attended her classes, has truly been one of the best experiences of my life.

Christina is a great teacher, her instructions and demonstrations are clear and detailed and she tailors the support needed for each person as an individual rather than just assuming everybody is at the same level which is fantastic. I've had a brilliant day and came away feeling much more confident in my abilities. I will 100% be back for another class, hopefully soon!

Been to 2 classes and already got more booked because of the excellent way Christina teaches. She is friendly and very patient with all her students. My daughter and I love going there and even though our journey is nearly 2 hours it's well worth the effort. Even if you think you can't do anything Christina will soon prove you can.
