CUPCAKE DECORATION CLASSES

Well I just wanted to let you all know that the cupcake decoration classes are going really well and the ideas keep flowing. I have now completed two designs for the forthcoming Christmas workshops and I thought you might like to see the photographs.

There is quite a lot in the melting pot at the moment, with a plan to do On-line cake decoration classes, so those of you who are outside the UK and would love to learn how to create the perfect cupcake and decorate them - this will be perfect for you.

If you would like to register as a follower on my blog and also add a Like to my Facebook pages I can keep you posted.

CUPCAKE WRAPPERS - A NEW DESIGN

These are a new range of Cupcake Wrappers called Rose Garden. They are in a pdf digital download format and come in a set of 3 wrappers, matching tags and a sheet of pretty matching spotty paper to print on the reverse of the wrappers. The beauty of Cupcake Wrappers that are digital is that you can print as many off that you want, whenever you like, so you never have to keep paying for the wraps over and over again. They are shortly to be released with some freebies on offer, so if you are interested in knowing more about them please register as a Follower on this blog page and on our Facebook page to be kept informed of their release.

There will also be a really pretty range of Digital Craft Papers and tags following the Rose Garden theme which will be released in the near future - again in a download format.

WE DID IT - 41 AND CLIMBING!!!!

Thanks everyone who had a chance to check into the Facebook page (see link in previous post) got to 41 and rising, with an extra special thank you to Jacque and Dawn for their tremendous support. I have masses of new ideas, just bursting at the seams with them - and maybe some blog candy along the way - so keep checking in to the Creative Cake Academy blog for details.

(The candy will be card related - so don't panic - lol).


Have a great weekend xx

WOW - A YEAR HAS GONE BY !!!!!!!

It is amazing to see that a year after The Next Level had to close its doors, we still have a massive following - you truly are dedicated followers.

Dawn and I are still great friends and have so many creative projects on the go it is amazing. For the time being I would just like to fill you in on what I am doing now - my time is spent between two passions - creating artisan soap and cake decoration and design. You can clearly see that I have not been able to switch off the creativity button. I need followers for my new cake decoration blog and at least 25 likes for my facebook pages before I can get a personal url - so any help would be so gratefully appreciated.
