sugarcraft lessons on saga Easter cruise

Sugarcraft lessons onboard Saga’s Easter Cruise to the Adriatic

By Lindy Smith | 17th April 2024 | 0 Comments

I love teaching and inspiring people so when Saga approached me to run sugarcraft lessons onboard their Spirit of Discovery ship I couldn’t say no. I did have a few concerns before we embarked, due to the passengers being older than people I am used to teaching. I needn’t of worried. Classes were fun with lots of […]

By Lindys Team | 7th February 2024 | 0 Comments

It’s now late October 2023. Lindy and I (Paul) have been providing cake design classes on cruise ships for about four months this year and we are about to make it five. Is this the life I wanted when I retired? I didn’t know it but YES definitely! This cruise is from Southampton to Dubai […]

Tropical Tahitian Reef Cake by Lindy Smith

By Lindy Smith | 28th July 2023 | Comments Off on Tropical Tahitian Reef Cake by Lindy Smith

Do you dream of being somewhere where it’s always warm? Where you can go for a swim to cool off? Somewhere tropical, full of colour, a paradise island perhaps? Just such a place was where I had the great privilege of being earlier this year, as part of my 94-day trip around the world teaching […]

Around the world teaching on a cruise ship

94 Days around the world teaching cake decorating

By Lindy Smith | 27th June 2023 | 1 Comment

Never did I ever dream, back in 1997 when I started teaching cake decorating, that over 25 years later I’d be teaching classes for over 3 months on a cruise ship. Isn’t it amazing where life can take you? I guess saying yes to exciting opportunities, no matter how many hurdles seem to be in […]

Cricket Celebration Cake – the Square Cut

By Lindy Smith | 2nd August 2022 | Comments Off on Cricket Celebration Cake – the Square Cut

It feels good to be creating and writing for The Cake Decoration and Sugarcraft magazine again. My first project, this time around, falls under the heading of ‘Quintessential British summer’. Now, I could have easily chosen rural thatched cottages, cream teas, majestic oak trees in country parks, red letterboxes etc but I decided to opt […]

Blast from the Past Aircraft Cakes – Spitfire and Fighter jet

By Lindy Smith | 13th June 2022 | Comments Off on Blast from the Past Aircraft Cakes – Spitfire and Fighter jet

It’s been a week full of aircraft of all types for me. Firstly, on Monday I saw the new “Top Gun: Maverick” movie with Tom Cruise at my local Imax cinema and wow, wasn’t it brilliant. I loved the original 1986 film, but to see actual F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets flying real manoeuvres was captivating. […]

Puffin Celebration Cake

By Lindy Smith | 6th June 2022 | Comments Off on Puffin Celebration Cake

Puffy the puffin was originally going to be a llama cake! Yes really, at the time I was researching themes for my ‘One Tier Party Cakes’ book Cute, llamas were certainly very much on-trend. Llamas were everywhere, on birthday cards, cushions, bedcovers, cupcakes, cakes etc. However, something stopped me from creating one, because I guess, […]

Cake Decorating Escapism in Lockdown… it works!

By Lindy Smith | 31st August 2021 | Comments Off on Cake Decorating Escapism in Lockdown… it works!

Love your latest book It’s always good to receive positive feedback about a project I’ve worked on, especially when that project has taken over a year to create. Writing a book is a very solitary occupation and it’s not until it’s out in the world that reactions start to slowly filter through. I am always […]
