This is gonna be fun. Amber and I will be running a class at the Cork Sugarcraft Show in March. Specifically aimed at teenagers, we'll be showing how to create a cheeseburger and fries cake. You can have it with extra cheese, hold the mayo, extra onions, you decide, either way you'll get to go home with a 100% edible cake that you made yourself. As Amber is always keen to remind me, she's a better cake decorator than I (she has won best in class awards twice, something I've never achieved) but what she doesn't know is that I was taught how to make this cake by the person who invented it in the 80's so I've had a bit of practice :) Anyway we're gonna have some craic. There's lots of other have-a-go workshops for all skill levels on over the weekend so have a peek at the website and you're bound to find something of interest. See you there.

Well today, on my favourite of days, I'm very happy to announce that I've achieved a longtime goal. Facebook has decided that my cake for the annual Sugar Screams collaboration is too graphic for general viewing 🙂 So eh, please do have a look at all the other frankly horrifying cakes from around the world and eh, if you're the type of person that absolutely has to click the "Show photo" button everytime you're given the option then do feel free to do so ( It actually isn't that bad, honest!) Thanks as always to Avalon Yarnes and Corinna Maguire for pulling it all together

Honoured to take part in this collaboration in memory of Jennifer Lofthouse. Jen was particularly well known for making shoe and handbag cakes, so I decided to try and turn one of her bag cakes into a shoe. Almost 100 of Jen's friends took part as a very fitting tribute. Check out the other pieces in the link in the comments. Thanks to Cheryl Gaulton for the trojan job of organising.
