The second and last day of my course at Slattery's is now finished (*sniff sniff*) I am going to be so sad tomorrow to not wake up and spend the day playing with cake and icing. :'(
Anyway, today we spent the day learning and practising icing techniques. What fun! We learned so many great things. Now I just have to practice practice practice.
As my birthday pressie, I have been treated to a Slattery's Advanced Sugarcraft course. It's a two day course covering all the essentials plus some fantastic advanced techniques for making cakes.
Slattery's is the North West's most renowned Pattisier and Chocolatier. They run all sorts of fantastic courses and many train many top confectioners. They are particularly famous for their chocolate skills and their AMAZING chocolate cakes.
First day down and I have put together and covered my cake ready for tomorrow's decorating session, and tomorrow evening...an evening tea-party to demolish my beautiful cake! (sorry about the pictures, only had my phone camera and it's, well, it's rubbish!
