I started my own business making bespoke cupcakes back in September. I am completely self taught and with the amount of books available and now tips and videos online it's never been easier to learn.

However I have been asked to give talks and run classes a number of times now so may consider starting something in the near future if the demand is there.

Hi there, I'm in the process of getting my baking business up and running. I actually came on to this forum looking to see if anyone would be interested in cake decorating courses. It definitely seems like there are a few of you interested to make it worthwhile. I have my certificate in Baking and Pastry Arts and have been decorating cakes for a few years now. You can reach me at carrie@cakesbycarrie-anne.co.uk visit my website at www.cakesbycarrie-anne.co.uk (http://www.cakesbycarrie-anne.co.uk) . It would be great to hear what aspect of decorating you are all interested in as a way to get started and what exactly you are hoping to get out of this experience :) Looking forward to hearing from you

for simple fairy cakes..weigh the eggs and use that as the measurement for the rest of the ingredients,
Ie an egg at 2 oz needs 2oz self raising flour 2oz caster sugar and 2 oz butter.
You can substitute up to half the flour for cocoa powder for choc cakes without disaster...
180deg celcius for 10 mins to 12mins!

Hi! Thank you for your reply!

I would happily cover specific areas if requested as a good base to a decorated cake is very important, not all sponges are suitable for decorating due to the weight of the sugarpaste and decoration. Baking cakes is more of a science and definately takes a lot of practice.

If anyone who has stated they have an interest in decorating could let me know if there are specific areas they would like to learn i will definately start looking into this.
