Traditional Christmas carol inspires Lindy’s colourful Christmas cake design

Shush…don’t tell anyone…. but there are less than 4 weeks until Christmas! Now I love Christmas, I love the excitement of my young nieces and nephews, I’m very partial to a glass or two of spiced mulled wine and I adore the woody pine scent of a freshly cut and decorated Christmas tree. What I […]

Bake yourself a very merry Christmas – Lindy’s Christmas pudding cookies feature on magazine cover

Christmas pudding cookies, what a wonderfully festive sweet treat. Every Christmas I bake and decorate cookies in all shapes and sizes. So imagine my delight when I discovered the Christmas pudding cookies I’d baked and decorated for the November issue of Cake Decoration and Sugarcraft Magazine, on the front cover. Not only are my cookies on […]

Girly Fashion Cake Inspiration Plus Cake Decorating Tips From Lindy
