Best-selling cake decorating author Lindy Smith at the first Cake International Show in Manchester – March 2013

14th March 2013 by Lindy Smith

Over 18,000 cake decorating, sugarcrafting and baking enthusiasts flocked to the Cake International show last weekend in Manchester. It certainly felt like that many, if the amount of times I had my photo taken with excited visitors to the show, was anything to go by! It was the first time Cake International had held an exhibition in Manchester, so I am pleased it was such a success. For me, it was wonderful having the opportunity to meet so many of my fans, having my photo taken with those that asked and signing Lindy postcards, show programmes and copies of my books. It was also exhilarating speaking to packed audiences in the demonstration theatres, I really felt I was inspiring a new generation of cake decorators, showing them what is possible with sugar, as well as reigniting a passion for my craft in those who have been decorating cakes for a while.
