By Lindy Smith | 2nd August 2012 | Comments Off on Step by step photography – Lindy’s ‘creative colour’ cake book photoshoot

I know from what my students and customers tell me that many of you don’t actually READ my books per se, you tend to look at the step by step pictures and revert to the text only when you want clarification!! This means that when I plan the step by step photography for my books […]

Lindy’s ‘creative colour’ book photoshoot – styled cakes on location

By Lindy Smith | 31st July 2012 | Comments Off on Lindy’s ‘creative colour’ book photoshoot – styled cakes on location

I love creating and writing cake books and even though I do months of work before a first photoshoot, a book doesn’t feel real until the camera shutter clicks and the first cakes are safely digitally stored on a server, as well as in cake boxes!! This has definitely been true for the book I […]

Rose Tinted Sugarcraft Inspirations – Lindy Smith’s Species Rose Stencil

By Lindys Team | 20th June 2012 | Comments Off on Rose Tinted Sugarcraft Inspirations – Lindy Smith’s Species Rose Stencil

It could be a particular shape, a textured pattern or colour scheme that has caught her eye or a perhaps a particular place she’s visited or a page in a magazine. Inspiration a vital part […]

By Lindys Team | 19th June 2012 | Comments Off on Full class at Lindy’s Introduction to Celebration Cakes – 15th June 2012
