Woodland tree stump cake spring is a wonderful course. More than expected, learnt many new techniques. Lynn & Annabelle were patient, knowledgeable and on hand to offer advice & support. You learn so many skills that you wouldn't realise from looking at the cake. It also provides some basis into flower making.

The tree stump cake was great fun to do + would recommend it. The day went so quickly. Lyn explained everything we needed to know and skills to help achieve our own individual cake, answered questions + jumped in to help if needed. Course was great and more content than I expected. Thank you - a fun course:)
