Girly Fashion Cake Inspiration Plus Cake Decorating Tips From Lindy

7th March 2017 by Lindy Smith

Girly fashion cake inspiration and cake decorating tips

I simply loved putting this girly fashion cake together. The idea, as so often happens, came from a number of sources. Firstly Kate, who was my 1-2-1 student last Friday, she wanted to learn to doodle using a fluid writer. Secondly, the redesign of our Lindy’s Cakes website and online shop. This is a massive […]

How and when should you use pastillage and what is the recipe?

18th February 2017 by Lindy Smith

how and when to use pastillage

Have you heard of Pastillage? When talking to my students in class, or engaging in conversations with enthusiastic cake decorators on social media, I often find either no one has heard of it or that they have, but they think it’s a paste that’s bit perplexing. The questions I’m often asked include: What is pastillage?

How to make ombre sugar ruffles

Ombre sugar ruffles, so pretty! I loved creating these for the ‘Sweetheart Stripe’ wedding cake below – you’ll now find the cake in my ‘Simply Modern Wedding Cakes‘ book.

Doodling, Facebook Live and the Curious Cake Decorator

7th October 2016 by Lindy Smith

Lindy Smith the curious cake decorator

You have probably heard the old English proverb ‘curiosity killed the cat’ used to warn of the dangers of unnecessary investigation or experimentation.
