thankyou

Today ive given out 500 fliers, advertizing my new day class ,i had only been back home half an hour and the phone rang and it was a male, that makes childrens cakes and wants to join the class

Wow those flowers are stunning. Is it hard work to do things like that?

Congrats M.O.G ( mum of G)/ cake lady. Look forward to seeing what the new class creates. I genuinely love anything to do with craft work of any type. My mum does egg craft (if you've ever heard of it that is).

Wish you all the luck with the new class.

Nah, not really, i make em all for her but she likes to take the credit.....

Gaz .......you sit and make the cones for the roses and get bored after 10 minutes!


GG, It is a delicate craft but I think it is something anyone can learn given time, some take to it really quickly and others make cabbages for weeks, the hardest part is to get used to thinning out the paste to make them delicate and not getting scared or getting the paste all stuck to your hands. It's really fascinating to watch how a spray of flowers made from sugar develop.


...TK, ......M.O.G

I used to help make flowers from napkins with my nan among other materials. Somewhow I think pinkshears my fave tool of choice won't work here. However my mouth will eating the stuff.

I'll have to give it a try and see how bad I can make a flower. First things first a cake to make then I can eat that while I ruin the paste lol.

Hi folks, i started a new cake decorating class on thursday, there were 7 people including a man.they are learning to make a rose spray first,and then i will show them how to cover a cake in icing so that they can put the flower spray on top ,when they have done this i will put some picts on of the class to show you how they got on, i still have my other class on a friday night and its a much more advanced class and we have seventeen people at that one

You ought to do a youtube short lesson and show case your work. That should bring in some interest and maybe work your way.

My firend got married recently and her cake was , in her words, not even suitable for flushing down the bog. It cost her a fair packet. They had to send one of the bridesmaids out to get another cake from Asda. Which looked better and was edible.

I showed her your work and she was gutted but didn't think her new hubby would be too keen on geting divorced and remarried so she could get the cake she wanted.

lol ,i have been contacted by the wedding cake mags,to do a video ,in the past but it costs around 300 pound,and also as im retired if i do it as a job i will get taxed very high ,i was on ebay selling my flowers,as i tried to go self employed but by the time i payed all the fees ,and postage and my tax bill it did not pay.the flowers went to america paris australia all over the uk ,Andie and Gaz wanted me to sell the house and us to go and live in paris as they dont have sugarflowers there,and she could do tattoo,s. I started the class as part of our local residents commity for the community ,but it recently folded but i kept the class on,and now the council asked me to do an afternoon one.Two weeks ago i did a 3 tier stacker and the groom collected it and dropped it outside the front door all sponge, it took 6 hours to repair it,with Andie helping me too,i could have killed him

Ouch and I think I would have killed the groom too.

These cakes and sugarcraft are awesome. Watched an instore demo of sugar craft, worth watching the professional do it than try and fail like I did :lol:

My wedding cake was kak, looked like a child had been let loose with playdough and it tasted vile. Best bit of the cake was the slinging of it during a food riot. Can't say my wedding wasn't a fun affair, that was the best part there after it was a vile as the cake was. Gald to be rid of both now.
