Cake Decorating Demonstration

Stylish, quirky, dramatic - how would you like your cake to look?

Every special occasion deserves a celebration cake - but transforming your imaginative ideas into the finished product requires a great deal of skill.

Andy from 'Really Nice Cakes' will be demonstrating a range of skills that are not too complicated and can easily be reproduced at home to achieve some stunning results.

It's not all about looks - the taste and texture of the cake is important part so Andy will be making his cake first before icing, making sugar flowers and piping to give it the fine details.  Andy will be bringing some cakes with him made beforehand, decorated in a more outrageous style, to show just what is possible in the medium of sugar craft.

Andy trained at the Leiths school of food and wine in London for a year, gaining a strong grounding in everything food related. He quickly found employment at the 5 star Cliveden House Hotel, which at the time had a Michelin star. After such valuable experience from the hustle and bustle of the professional kitchen, he decided to go down a different route and found employment at a start-up bakery where he became the head pastry chef.

Andy has always worked in fine dining with a need for excellence in presentation and taste. So he decided it was time to start his own business, where he could be in complete control and could offer what ever the client would want in cake. With a creative background in art & music and the love of fine food, it was the only natural progression for his career.
