It was my wedding anniversary this weekend – and I spent it with Handi and Fran at The Cake School!
I have so been looking forward to doing this course… a 3D standing cake, entirely edible – all but the tail. Awesome.
I was fortunate enough to attend a workshop with the lovely and very talented Debbie Brown at The Cake School here in Melbourne.
I’ve loved Debbie’s work since I first started in this craft and it was a thrill to meet her.
We made this beautiful Ganesha figurine – very intense class. He took almost 8 hours to complete! Every aspect of him has a symbolic meaning.. very detailed and lots of work!
Debbie Brown is a wonderful teacher, very generous and a lovely person. If you ever have the opportunity to learn from her snap up the chance!
I had the privilege of learning how to make these gorgeous blooms from the Queen of the Peony herself – Jacqueline Butler of Petalsweet. A 2 day workshop run at Alison Thompson’s beautiful studio with a lovely, talented group if local sugar artists.
As you can see – the results were amazing..
This is a cake I completed at a Planet Cake course held in Melbourne – a 2 tier wedding cake which features a spectacular magnolia and bamboo stems. Skills covered in this course included covering a square cake with rolled fondant, stacking the cakes, the coloured wrap,and making the flower and bamboo.
Everyone experimented with their colours in making the wrap around detail and as you can see we had a fantastic result from all the students!
