Sugarcraft

Sugarcraft is probably the most misunderstood term. What exactly is sugarcraft? To clear things up a bit, sugarcraft is a type of cake decorating which is three-dimensional. Sugarcraft is decorating that stands out from all other forms of decorating.

Sugarcraft is to cake decorating what clay is to sculpting. The type of icing used in sugarcraft, rolled fondant, is a dough, that can be used to cover the cake and making cake decorations. Fondant is rolled into sheets, draped over cakes or to cut to make ribbons, bows, flowers and lots more.

In my Cake Baking and Icing class, students are taught how to make the softest sponge cakes, how to pipe out designs with whipped cream and how to assemble and decorate the entire cake from scratch. This class covers all the techniques with fresh cream and chocolate. With just this one class many students have successfully launched their careers in cake baking!! Well, now they want more!! Fondant cakes are very much in demand now and any woman who is confident in her cake baking and decorating skills would definitely want to explore this wonderful medium as well. So with the popular demand from my students and due to their immense confidence and faith in me I too have finally ventured into Sugarcraft.

My journey began by finding the right place to train myself first. I have done my Masters in Sugarcraft with PME UK, which has 3 modules – 1) SUGARPASTE MODULE; 2) SUGAR FLOWERS MODULE; 3) ROYAL ICING & PIPING MODULE. Besides this, I have also invested a lot of time and effort in learning a lot of different techniques and methods from different sources. This was just to ensure that my students get the best out of me!!
