What people have to say about Debbie's work

Learn New Skills

  • Scheduled weekend workshops
  • Intensive one-to-one tuition
  • Workshops organised by your group, school. college etc
    (from £40.00 per person)

All workshops are designed for beginners to advanced students using sugarpaste, modeling paste and marzipan.

The scheduled weekend workshops are held in Ashford, Middlesex, only 10 minutes from
Heathrow Airport, 16 miles from central London. (see below for details)

Should you require overnight accommodation, the Staines Travel Lodge, Runnymede Hotel and Thames Lodge Hotel
are all only a 10 minute drive.

 

 

 

Each student will have quality attention as the workshops are small, between 3-7 persons. Covering cake sculpture and modeling, these workshops are for the beginner through to advanced students who wish to brush up their skills.

If you prefer, intensive one-to-one tuition can be arranged on a mutually convenient date for
£250.00 per day, 10 am-4pm.

These workshops will cover any subject, including cake sculpture, modeling, piping, sugar flowers, etc., and can be shared with a friend, or even two. Please Email to enquire.

Unless otherwise stated, there are some requirements for certain workshops. After booking details are usually sent 2-3 weeks prior to the workshop. These requirements are usually a cake or cake dummy, buttercream if using cake, a cake board, suitable box and around 2kg of sugarpaste. If you have any concerns about baking or supplying any requirements then I can arrange them for you, just let me know when confirming attendance.

Please also bring along you own lunch, but snacks, homemade cakes and cookies are provided, along with tea, coffee, mineral water and juice.

My books on novelty cakes/modeling can be purchased on the day, but if you already have them, you can bring them along for personalisation or signature if you wish.
