Lewisham learners cake decorating contribution.

At Lewisham (CEL - Community Education Lewisham), I taught a variety of subjects including; Advanced Cake Decorating techniques where we did some modelling and run-outs as well as ribbon insertion, Airbrushing and Perfect piping.  Some of my student's work on the Advanced Cake decorating Course, was  selected to be exhibited at the college.

Here is a photographic montage of the various subject areas.  I must give a special mention to Cassie Brown, of which some of her techniques were used to develop the airbrushing course.

My students were required to produce a vintage style cake with rolled roses, leaves, crimping, ribbon  insertion, stitching and lace patterns on the cake.  We worked on a square cake as this is somewhat harder to cover with sugar paste.  This was a highly technical piece and the students embraced the challenges.
