The Cake Design Italian Festival is getting closer, and we’re working hard getting ready for it.

I’ve been invited to participate as a guest for the whole week-end. I’ll be demonstrating for 30 minutes every day at the Main Kitchen, and I’ll teach a 4-hour class on Sunday. You will also be able to meet me at Squires Kitchen’s stand.

I’ll be teaching flowers, flowers and more flowers… with a twist!

I decided to try something new: on Saturday, I’ll be showing how to paint on sugarpaste. I used a similar technique on the Peony cake I made for a contest. This time, though, my painted decoration will be the focal point of the demonstration.

I’ve been playing with coulours and brushes in the last few days, and you can’t imagine how good a time I had. I might even have discovered a new passion, besides sugar flowers!

Meet me at the CDIF (sorry, but the full name is just too long!) next week-end: I’ll show you how to transform your cakes into painted works of art.

P.S. My calendar for Frideay and Sunday: Magnolia and Hong Kong Orchid, both lovely flowers. I hope you’ll enjoy them, as much as I will.
