Hi I’m such a fan of cake decorating and your work! It’s amazing!!
I’m 19 years old and want to start my own business in the cake baking & decorating industry one day! But I would like to start as soon as I can..
I will be starting college again I’m September to do a cake decorating course.
And was just asking for some tips on where to start and what to do next.
Look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hi Yssis
It sounds to me that you are doing absolutely the right thing by enrolling on a college course. You will hopefully learn all the basics you need. Then it will be a matter of practising and experimenting with what you have learnt. Enter competitions to stretch yourself, visit as many shows and exhibitions as you can and find other courses to attend on sugarcraft topics not covered by your course.
Another tip I would give is not to set yourself up in business before you are ready, before you feel confident with your skill level or before you have established you own style or way of decorating cakes – it worked for me!!!
Most of all enjoy being creative

I have one of your books and i would love to buy another one again with hopefully all the projects i saw on your flickr slideshow. I am amazed at your style, it is fun and classic, elegant and unique. I love them all. I am now a big fan.

Clears Throat; just ordered mine…that makes book #3. Pitty there are no classes in the USA or none in the future…I’d book’em ALL! I admire and appreciate you because you desire to teach others what you have crafted and learned. It takes a special person to want to SHARE the secrets! You could have kept all of that to yourself and sought only after the currency, you are truly the diamond in the ruff and I bless you for your heart of rubies & pink diamonds!!!!!
