Back To Basic's Workshop

We are going back to the basics in how to cover a board, then your cake in almond paste and then covering it with a layer of icing - starting from scratch for those who haven’t done it before or just need a refresher. Finishing off the beginners class with royal icing piped around your cake & then adding the finishing touches with some Chrissie flowers to make it in time to be the centre piece on your Christmas dinner table.
