Now there are lots of different cake classes that are round and about, but what is there in the Yorkshire region?
So far I've travelled to Manchester and London for classes that teach advanced skills; chocolate and cake structures; also smaller cake shops teach intermediate skills, but you seriously have to search, or be recommended, to find out where they are!
I've toyed with the idea of opening a school for classes teaching all levels of skills for cake and cupcake decorating; getting in guest tutors and teaching the more obscure techniques. |

It's been a hectic week with more wedding consultations booked for dates in 2012 and 2013!
 Alongside that I have been fortunate enough to take a class with the fabulous Kaysie Lackey of The People's Cake, Seattle. She has travelled over to the UK to do a number of different courses from designs she has created, and is now becoming renown for.
Held at Exotic Fantastic Cakes in Chigwell, Kaysie taught a class of twelve students in the gravity defying cake that is her 'boyfriend' Higgins the butler. |
