my classes at fair cake london- part 1

 

 

ok i am preeetty, really, super behind in my blog posts! i thought that i should finally write my post about my fabulous trip to london and the super amazing time that i had teaching at fair cake's vanilla workshop! firstly i will let you know about the amazing space that is vanilla workshop- it is soooo sooo sooo fantastic, it has been purpose built to be a super cute and practical workspace decked out with 4 ovens, so many mixers, a really cute little supply store, a fantastic work bench and plenty of tea! definitely my kind of place!

then there is the fair cake team- shikhita, jess and jess! they are just the loveliest, sweetest bunch of girls and so much fun to hang out with, thanks so much guys for making me feel at home! here is a cute pic of us all before heading for a night out!

 

THEN there is my super fun classes and my amazing students! i was so honored that people traveled from all over the uk and europe to come to my classes, i had so much fun meeting everyone and teaching everyone. i was so amazed by their results... i shared as much information as i could about my methods and techniques, things that i have spent years figuring out and i was so impressed how quickly everyone learnt to work with colour and fondant, cut out shapes by hand and absolutely perfect piping- wow, wow, wow! below are some pics from my cupcake class and first cookie class, i will share some more pics soon!

up, up and away!

earlier in the year i made christian's super cute owl christening cake (see post here!) and last weekend it was his first birthday!! maria and i had the exact same idea to turn my cute little heart balloon design into a hot air balloon cake and i think it turned out so so so sweet!! maria did a FANTASTIC job arranging this adorable sweet table (thanks maria for the photo!), i supplied the cake, cupcakes, cookies, coconut ice and cake pops and she organised the rest including gorgeous printables by mon tresor...

jessie and todds wedding!

 

i have had the most amazing time in london teaching at fair cake's beautiful vanilla workshop! i have so so so many parties, cakes and classes to post about but i will start with lovely jessies dessert table. i was lucky enough to work with jessie for both her kitchen tea and her wedding- she really was just the sweetest, sweetest bride and i was just so, so excited for her wedding day. it was held at the stunning silo restaurant and lounge at honeysuckle, newcastle which provided the perfect back drop to the table. the sweets included a delicious caramel mud cake with dark chocolate ganache along with buttercream and decorated vanilla bean cupcakes, vanilla sugar cookies, meringues and range of white lollies. it was quite a simple, but such a gorgeous dessert table!
