The year so far...

I don't really want to make this blog about me.  This blog is reserved for the celebration of my student's own achievements over the years, however, this year held a number of highlights,  including being awarded Silver in April of this year for my first foray into the prestigious Cake International's Decorated Celebration Cake category at the Excel Centre.

I also went with some friends, (Cheryl, Tarna [Cheryl's daughter who at age 15 also won silver at the Cake International competition this year] and Rose (she was awarded a merit at the same competition) to the legendary Choccywoccydoodah cake shop, in Brighton to see what they had on offer.  Choccywoccydoodah are specialists in cake and modelling chocolate awesomeness.

On 6th July, we  also attended the British Sugarcraft Guild's Exhibition in Ware, Hertfordshire where I met with Ceri DD Griffiths (the royal icing expert) and Zoe Clark, known for her beautiful clean lines and delicate cakes.  The pair were down to earth and really nice considering that they are very influential in the British Cake decorating industry and have written a number of  "How To" books.  Ceri is currently performing online tutorials.
