We are in the process of scheduling our classes for 2012, and we have a number of wonderful guest teachers due to arrive in the next few months along with our own series of classes.

Handi Mulyana is arriving in May for 3 classes, all of which are now open for bookings. Once again Handi will be teaching his very popular Sugar Stiletto. A wonderful class which teaches students some basic styrofoam modelling as well as the correct internal armature to support a high heel. This class is run over two mornings and is a heap of messy fun!

We will also be treated to Handi’s Sugar Flower class and his famous Double Barrel. Both classes are extremely popular and students will learn tricks and tips from Handi’s bottomless pit of cake art knowledge.

Lovely Student Feedback

After a really busy week and a wonderful Sunday class at The Cake School I finally sat down to check on emails from the past few days to open a lovely note from a delightful student who came to us for a private class on rose making a couple of weeks ago.

Here’s what Natalie had to say:

Hi Fran,

I’d just like to say a huge thank-you to you!!! Your private lesson taught me how to make roses which I needed to know for an upcoming wedding cake. I wasn’t able to practice any for two weeks after your lesson due to a hectic schedule. Then I was worried I hadn’t remembered everything! So I looked up your on line tutorial as a refresher and took some notes. I then sat down and made 40 roses over a three day period and boy was that good practice to try and perfect my roses and also to never forget how to make them! I could see as each day went by my roses were getting a little better. I still struggled with assembling my wired petals though but overall enjoyed making all those roses. Oh and I used your flower paste recipe which worked great and was easy to make. My cake was not perfect but a wise woman told me never to tell people the imperfections in a cake! So overall I’m relieved now I made the cake, the roses and safely delivered it and definitely glad now I have the skill to make roses. So thank you very much, I couldn’t have done it without your wonderful teaching skills Hope to take another class in the near future.

Natalie
