🐝💛 Another fabulous morning at Cake School! 💛🐝

This time we were making the most gorgeous beehive cakes – and what a lovely morning we had! 🎂🍯🐝

One of the things I hear again and again from people who come to Cake School is that it’s their “happy place”. 🥰

And I absolutely love that, because it really is about so much more than simply learning cake skills. It’s a little escape from real life… somewhere to relax, laugh, learn something new and spend time with like-minded people. ☕️🍰💕

Our lovely students summed it up beautifully:

💬 Liz: “A little piece of heaven. Really enjoyed the course – excellent as always.”

💬 Terrie: “Had a great morning with great company. Friendly, with tea and cake.” ☕️🍰

💬 PJ: “It was nice to be normal and with like-minded people.” ❤️

💬 Karen: “An extremely exciting course, with step-by-step instructions, and lovely to meet fellow cake makers.”

And alongside the lovely comments about the cakes, people regularly tell me how informative, helpful, friendly and good value they find our courses. 🥰

That’s exactly what I want Cake School to be – a place where you can come along, learn new skills, enjoy fabulous company, have plenty of tea and cake… and just have a really lovely time. 💕🎂☕️

So, if you’ve been thinking about joining us, perhaps it’s time to give yourself a little Cake School happy-place escape! 🐝✨

🌻✨ What a fabulous evening we had yesterday! ✨🌻

Our Sunflower Flower Pot class was such a lovely evening, and everyone went home absolutely delighted with their beautiful creations! 🥰🌻🪴

I always love hearing what everyone thinks at the end of a class, and last night’s feedback really did make me smile. ❤️

🌻 Susie said:
“Amazing as always, lovely night creating a beautiful sunflower, lots of fun and lots learnt.”

🌻 Terrie said:
“Had a great evening, plenty of tea and cake, Annabelle is excellent, love it, so relaxing.”
She also said how much she appreciated my knowledge, how helpful I was and all the new techniques she learnt. ☕🍰

🌻 Rachel said the course was better than expected — she learnt things she hadn’t expected to learn and particularly loved creating the beautiful sunflower, the cobblestones and the flower pot. She described me as patient, understanding, knowledgeable and fun. 🥰

🌻 Karen said the course was really enjoyable, she learnt lots and loved the company of everyone else. ❤️

And Julie had a particularly lovely achievement. She has been on courses with me before and had always found covering cakes in fondant quite tricky. But after some practice, extra explanation and a little more confidence, she managed it beautifully — and felt so accomplished! 🙌✨

And I think that’s one of the loveliest things about teaching.

It’s wonderful when a course gives you exactly what you expected… but even better when you leave feeling you’ve learnt more, achieved more and gained more confidence than you thought you would. 💕🎂

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a fun, relaxed and happy evening. 🌻💛

🧁 IT’S A BAKING DAY! 🧁

Today I’m starting with one of my absolute essentials — Madeira Cake! 🍰

I’ve got my Madeira Cake Recipe Card ready to go, and it’s been designed to make baking that little bit easier. It’s scaled for tin sizes from a 4-inch right up to a 15-inch cake, so whatever size you’re baking, you’ve got the quantities you need. 📏🎂

And it’s wipe-clean too! 🙌 So if I happen to drop a little cake mixture on it while I’m baking, I can simply give it a wipe and carry on! 😂

It’s not just the recipe either — the card is packed with helpful hints, tips and useful information to help you get the best results from your bake. ✨

So… the fat is creamed, the sugar is in and it’s lovely and light and fluffy. 💕 Now it’s time to start adding the egg and flour…

I think it’s going to be smelling absolutely delightful in the teaching room very soon! 😋🍰

📖 Madeira Cake Recipe Cards are available in store or online.

🧁✨ A fabulous one-to-one this morning! ✨🧁

My lovely lady wanted to perfect her buttercream skills — particularly getting that super smooth finish on her buttercream cakes — and she also wanted to work on some basic piping skills. 🎂💕

We had such a fabulous morning, and she couldn’t believe just how much she’d learned in three hours! 🙌✨

That’s what makes a one-to-one session so special. 💗 You can focus entirely on the particular skills you’d like help with, at your own pace, with plenty of time to practise and ask questions.

If there’s a cake skill you’d love to master or a technique you just don’t feel confident with, a one-to-one could be perfect for you! 👩‍🍳🎂

🥚✨ Did you know your eggs can make a difference to your cake?

I’m ready to bake… but there’s one little problem. My eggs have just come out of the fridge and they’re too cold! 🥶🥚

So, rather than waiting around, I’m popping them into a bowl of lukewarm water for a few minutes to gently bring them up to room temperature. 💧

Why does this matter?

When you’re making a cake batter, having your ingredients at the right temperature helps everything emulsify correctly. If your eggs are very cold, they can make your butter mixture seize or split, which can affect the final texture of your cake.

And this is exactly why I love understanding the science behind baking. 🧪🎂

It’s not just about following a recipe and hoping for the best. When you understand WHY you’re doing something, your baking can take on a whole new level. You become much better at spotting what’s going wrong, fixing it, and ultimately producing consistently fabulous results. 🙌✨

If you’d like to understand more about the why behind your baking, my Baking Masterclass is a fantastic place to start. 🎂👩‍🍳

Or, if there’s something specific you’d really like to get to grips with, you can always book a one-to-one session and we can work on exactly what you need. 💕

Because once you understand the science… baking just makes so much more sense! 🔬✨

🧁✨ The final Parent & Child session of the summer! ✨🧁

What a fabulous morning we had! 💕 Another lovely group of delightful children creating some super cupcakes that they could feel really proud of. 🧁🌸🎨

There’s something so special about seeing children’s confidence grow as they learn new skills, make their own choices and then proudly take home something they’ve created themselves. 🥰

And I just want to say how much I appreciate every single person who chooses to come along to one of my classes. ❤️ Whether you’re a child, a complete beginner, or a more experienced cake decorator, I genuinely love sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for cake decorating with you.

After more than 20 years of teaching, I still feel incredibly lucky that people choose to spend their time learning with me — and I never take that for granted. 🎂💗

We’ve got Parent & Child sessions coming up for Halloween 🎃 and Christmas 🎄, with dates and full details on the website.

If you’d like to know more about any of the classes, just get in touch — I’d love to see you at Cake School! 💕🧁
