I would definitely recommend this course as it covers all the bases that you need to know about sugar paste, from covering a cake (as well as learning about marzipan) to creating details in sugar paste and different styles of cake toppers. It was a great course to attend and even though I have been working with sugar paste for a little while, it definitely filled some knowledge/ skill gaps that I had. It’s also great to find out about techniques which you may not have used/ heard of before. Annabelle has a wealth of experience, is very patient and answers all your questions.

Fantastic course. I'm so glad I made the decision to do it. I learnt so much in the four days. If anyone is thinking of doing it, go for it, you won't regret it. Thank you Annabelle for everything.
