Absence makes the heart grow fonder?


I've not blogged for a while, despite my best intentions to do so. I do have a good excuse though. I was away on holiday and now that I am back I feel energised and very refreshed (NOT!).
I decided to go the the US (as always) and decided to visit the South. I chose to go to Savannah, Georgia so I can take a cake decorating class at Savannah Custom Cakes which is owned by the very warm, kind and generous Minette Rushing.
I met a group of wonderful women who include Jackie Butler of the Petal Sweet blog fame (amazing sugar artist and teacher) and Kate Essenberg who apart from being a talented opera singer, cake decorator AND photographer is also a great mum.
The class was taught by the king of cakes, the maestro that is Ron Ben-Israel. Some of the techniques I learnt can be seen on the cake above and over the next few months, I hope to have the opportunity to showcase more cake designs!
