By Lindy Smith | 28th July 2020 | 4 Comments

Edible wildflower meadow for Harry the hare – cake decorating tutorial

By Lindy Smith | 30th May 2018 | 2 Comments

Harry the Hare in his edible wildflower meadow is a cake design that I am immensely pleased with. My original idea was to create an Easter bunny amongst grass searching for decorated Easter eggs.

By Lindy Smith | 11th April 2018 | Comments Off on Facebook Supporters, Toastmasters and Shakespeare – what do they have in common?

Last week I revealed some exciting news, the launch of Facebook Supporters – a project I am helping to pilot for Facebook.
